I will probably cross-reference that code with openvt from console-tools and start with only one version of code. If other platforms need to be supported for which the existing code won't be enough, we'll see about it. > I could open the vt in the parent process then close it in the session > process; since the session process is called by xinit, to do so I need > to leave the fd open for the child process and pass its number to the > session process in an env var. That is doable. This is actually not needed, I realised. I can just do the vt allocation in the supervisor process, and keep the vt open until the supervisor ends.
