Re: Unify PTY handling

mb> Please see my other emails on this subject. If you're going mb> to fix this (and it's on my very long todo list), let's do it mb> right. The grantpt, unlockpt, etc. should be in the code for mb> OPENing the pty, not the code for printing it! mb> We'll have to fix similar code in s/hpux.h and probably mb> elsewhere. Also we should pay close attention to Linux/glibc-isms. The code in question is conditioned on HAVE_GETPT, but this refers to a GNU extension in glibc which appears to be a convenience routine. It's quite possible that other systems will comply with the standard (Unix9X?) and could take advantage of the apparently more careful code in the Linux s/m file, but won't have getpt() -- or at least we should check on that. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
