- hello,
-
- I have written a program that opens a pty by trying to open all the pty
- files in the master directory. This works okay but is not very elegant and
- sometimes fails.
-
- I found a C++ class from HP called PTYOPEN(3X) that does want I want
- but, I need ANSI C. I called HP and they said that this was an AT&T library
- and that they could not provide any info about it.
-
- So my question: Does anyone know how PTYOPEN(3X) gets a pty? HP does not
- document the pty interface for HP-UX. I pressed the HP support engineer
- and he said that the HP-UX pty interface is probably standard AT&T. Does
- anyone have any documentation of this interface?
-
- I am running HP-UX 8.0, 8.02 and 8.07 on 9000 series [78]00.

- Thanks

- Chris
