2004-06-20The pseudo-device keyword takes only one count as an argument.Aaron Campbell
2004-04-11Crank max ptys to 992. We now have 62 pty/tty pairs for each letterTodd C. Miller
instead of 16. E.g. it is now /dev/{p,t}typ[0-9a-zA-z] instead of just /dev/{p,t}typ[0-9a-f]. This requires that you update MAKEDEV and run: # cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV pty0 && rm -f [pt]ty[rq]*
2004-03-21Homogeneize config lines for pseudo-devices, and do not put fixed values.Miod Vallat
2004-02-22be more emphatic: ptys are still allocated using openpty(3), it justTheo de Raadt
happens to use this new ptm thing underneath
2004-02-10Add the ptm device to pty(4). By opening /dev/ptm and using the PTMGETTodd C. Miller
ioctl(2), an unprivileged process may allocate a pty and have its owner and mode set appropriately. This means that programs such as xterm and screen no longer need to be setuid. Programs using the openpty() function require zero changes and will "just work". Designed by beck@ and deraadt@; changes by beck@ with cleanup (and a rewrite of the vnode bits) by art@ and tweaks/bugfixes by me. Tested by many.

rescinded 22 July 1999. Proofed by myself and Theo.

1999-07-09- remove all trailing whitespaceAaron Campbell
* except when it is escaped with a `\' at the end of the line - fix remaining .Nm usage as well - this is from a patch I received from kwesterback@home.com, who has been working on some scripts for fixing formatting errors in mdoc'd man pages Ok, so there could be a cost/benefit debate with this commit, but since I have the patch we might as well commit it...
