Hi,

I haven't done this before in any language, so any tips would be appreciated. From what I gather, a call to posix_openpt or openpty returns a master and a slave, or alternatively opening /dev/ptmx followed by calls to grantpt and unlockpt.

well, then I suggest 'Stevens, Advanced programming in the unix environment' for basic pseudo terminal programming.

Thanks for the reference. Does Haskell's standard library support pseudo terminals, or will I have to write foreign interfaces for grantpt and unlockpt? -Tom
