What is a Pty communications manager and what can it do for me.

Thanks,

Ask not what your pty communications manager can do for you, but rather
what you can do for it! :slight_smile:

It manages “pseudo” terminal devices – something that an application
can write to or read from. These are generally used for things like
when you telnet into a box, the telnet program allocates a pty for
you, and your applications (shell, etc) talk to the pty.

Look in the docs under devc-pty and you’ll see more…
