NAME
ptem - Null STREAMS module for pseudoterminal emulation
DESCRIPTION
The ptem module is a null STREAMS module that DIGITAL UNIX provides to
applications for use in place of the AT&T System V Release 4 ptem mod-
ule. The AT&T System V Release 4 ptem module emulates a pseudoterminal
when used in conjunction with a line discipline and a pty device dri-
ver. In DIGITAL UNIX, all of the AT&T ptem functions are included in
the pty slave device driver.
The client process pushes the null ptem module onto the slave side of
the pty device stream below the ldterm module by a call to the STREAMS
I_PUSH ioctl() function.
