A pseudoterminal is a virtual device that provides an IPC channel. On one end of the channel is a program that expects to be connected to a terminal device. On the other end is a program that drives the terminal-oriented program by using the channel to send it input and read its output.
This chapter describes the use of pseudoterminals, showing how they are employed in applications such as terminal emulators, the script(1) program, and programs such as ssh, which provide network login services.
