pseudo(1)pseudo(1)NAMEpseudo - Starts a non-STREAMS pty interface for a STREAMS device
SYNOPSISpseudo [-l] [-shell shell]
OPTIONS
Starts a shell process as the login shell. By default, the command
starts this process as an interactive shell. Specifies the shell to be
started. By default, the command starts the shell set by the SHELL
environment variable.
DESCRIPTION
The pseudo command provides an appropriate interface for STREAMS tty
devices that are installed on systems configured to use the non-STREAMS
pty driver.
The pseudo command opens a pair of master and slave pty devices, and
starts a shell process. The command's options allow you to override the
default shell specification and to specify that the process be started
as a login shell.
NOTES
The pseudo command is available only when one or more of the Tru64 UNIX
optional subsets with worldwide support software are installed on your
system.
In order for the pseudo command to provide a non-STREAMS pty interface
for STREAMS devices, the system must be configured to use the non-
STREAMS pty driver. If the system is configured to use the STREAMS pty
driver, the command provides a STREAMS pty interface.
