SYSV_PTY(8)  —  Maintenance

NAME

SYSV_PTY − Makes the system use the SVR4 pseudo terminal name space

SYNOPSIS

/dev/SYSV_PTY

DESCRIPTION

The SYSV_PTY shell script activates the SVR4 pty (pseudo terminal) name space as the default.  The SVR4 pty special files have a name in the form of /dev/pts/N.  The SYSV_PTY shell script takes no arguments.  To reactivate the BSD pseudoterminal name space, invoke the MAKEDEV command to create the pty special files.
