|
- A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
|
|
|
- halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
|
|
|
- a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
|
|
|
- read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
|
|
|
- terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
|
|
|
- and xterms.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
|
|
|
- masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
|
|
|
- has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
|
|
|
- however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
|
|
|
- pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
|
|
|
- terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
|
|
|
- terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
|
|
|
- traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The entries in /dev/pts/ are created on the fly by a virtual
|
|
|
- file system; therefore, if you say Y here you should say Y to
|
|
|
- "/dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs" as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If you want to say Y here, you need to have the C library glibc 2.1
|
|
|
- or later (equal to libc-6.1, check with "ls -l /lib/libc.so.*").
|
|
|
- Read the instructions in <file:Documentation/Changes> pertaining to
|
|
|
- pseudo terminals. It's safe to say N.
