pty is a tool to help debug console programs which take the terminal out of
|
|
canonical mode, by allowing the program being debugged and the debugger to run
|
|
on separate terminal devices.
|
|
|
|
To use pty, the programmer changes to the terminal device where he or she
|
|
wishes to interact with the program to be debugged, and at the shell
|
|
prompt, runs pty with no arguments. Pty will print out the filename of the
|
|
slave side of the pseudo-terminal it has opened. Inside the debugger,
|
|
running in another terminal device, one then redirects the program to be
|
|
debugged's IO to the slave (tty command of gdb). When you are finished
|
|
using pty, you must manually kill it. When pty starts it prints out its
|
|
pid.
