(It is documented in the Linux manpages.) It's not in the released manual for glibc 2.19 and not in the manual/terminal.texi file in the current git repository. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

It means that the libc manual is not the document that people should be looking at if they want to use pseudo-terminals. The Linux manpages project seems to be more comprehensive in this area. The manual only documents getpt which is glibc-specific, as stated in the Linux manpages: getpt() is glibc-specific; use posix_openpt(3) instead. The maintainers of the GNU compatibility library gnulib said that there was no need for them to support getpt when this bug was first reported: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2014-06/msg00030.html It would make sense to have a consistent treatment of getpt across glibc and gnulib as a function that should not be used in new programs, which means documenting posix_openpt properly. I am willing to write and send a patch for this if there is any chance of it being used. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
