It is two-tailed t-test. It is not obvious but 'ttest'
uses the incomplete beta function (betainc) to calculate
the probability.

See Example 2 at
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/betainc.shtml

This illustrates how to get the one-tailed probability.
There is also a link where you can get the one and two tailed
probabilities.

Good luck
