Libptytty 1.2

Libptytty is a small library that offers pseudo-TTY management in an OS-independent way. It was created out of frustration over the many differences of PTY/TTY handling in different operating systems for use inside "rxvt-unicode". It also offers session database support (utmp and optional wtmp/lastlog updates for login shells) and supports forking after startup and dropping privileges in the calling process. It offers C++ and C-only APIs. SYNOPSIS: cc ... -lptytty #include // C++ ptytty *pty = ptytty::create (); if (!pty->get ()) // error allocating pty if (we want utmp) pty->login (process_pid, 0, "remote.host"); else if (we want utmp AND wtmp/lastlog) pty->login (process_pid, 1, "remote.host"); // we are done with it delete pty; // C PTYTTY pty = ptytty_create (); if (!ptytty_get (pty)) // error allocating pty if (we want utmp) ptytty_login (pty, process_pid, 0, "remote.host"); else if (we want utmp AND wtmp/lastlog) ptytty_login (pty, process_pid, 1, "remote.host"); // we are done with it ptytty_delete (pty); Whats New in This Release: - This release fixes libptytty on systems that dont support TIOCSCTTY (such as Cygwin and Solaris). - It works around a bug in some openpty implementations by using ttyname again. - A small memory leak when _getpty is being used was fixed..
