#1417: Add pseudoterminal support to the unix package
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner:
Type: proposal | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Not GHC
Component: libraries/unix | Version: 6.6.1
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: Unknown | Os: Unknown
Testcase: | Architecture: Unknown
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
I propose to enhance the unix package by adding pty support:
-- | @openPseudoTerminal@ creates a pseudoterminal (pty) pair, and
-- returns the newly created pair as a (@master@, @slave@) tuple.
openPseudoTerminal :: IO (Fd, Fd)
-- | @getSlaveTerminalName@ calls @ptsname@ to obtain the name of the
-- slave terminal associated with a pseudoterminal pair. The file
-- descriptor to pass in must be that of the master.
getSlaveTerminalName :: Fd -> IO FilePath
This is all that's required to get pseudoterminals working on Unix-like
systems.
