- Actually, the version I've seen discusses only SVR3.2 pseudo-ttys; it
- doesn't mention the additional stuff in SVR4. However, Stevens' other
- book:
-
- Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment
-
- Addison-Wesley
- Reading, MA
-
- ISBN: 0-202-56317-7
-
- has a chapter on pseudo-ttys that discusses both 4.3BSD-style and
- SVR4-style pseudo-ttys. It only briefly mentions some of the additional
- SVR4 (and additional 4.3BSD) stuff, but does refer you to:
-
- UNIX System V Release 4 Programmer's Guide: STREAMS
-
- Prentice-Hall
-
- for more information.
-
- Both books appear to fall under the heading "check this book before you
- ask the net a UNIX programming question, because you may find the answer
- there without having to post anything or having to wait for a reply".
- They may well amount to a a hard-bound FAQ....
