NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       pseudo  - Starts a non-STREAMS pty interface for a STREAMS
       device

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       pseudo [-l] [-shell shell]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
