Re: [aclug-L] Pseudo terminals on Linux

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You want openpty.  Unfortunately, some distributions do not have the
manpage.  I've attached a manpage from OpenBSD here.  The relevant
header file is pty.h; you can look at brief docs in /usr/include/pty.h 
if you want.  The source for the script program can also be helpful if 
you get stuck.
