Subject: posix_openpt vs getpt??
Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2019 21:35:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191230213550.icqt2er7dwnxcrrb@function> (raw)
Hello,
In sysdeps/unix/bsd/getpt.c we can read:
/* We cannot define posix_openpt in general for BSD systems. */
I do not see why posix_openpt can't be defined like getpt is. Is there
a semantic difference between them beyond the open flags that could be
just passed to the open() call? Notably, Linux' getpt() is actually
implemented as __posix_openpt (O_RDWR)...
Samuel
