Bug ID: 17010
Summary: posix_openpt not documented
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: manual
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: GavinSmith0123 at gmail dot com
CC: mtk.manpages at gmail dot com, roland at gnu dot org
There is no documentation of the posix_openpt function in the "Allocating
Pseudo-Terminals" section of the manual. (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.

--- Comment #1 from Gavin Smith <GavinSmith0123 at gmail dot com> ---
This function has still not been documented. 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.
