devc-pty

Pseudo-tty communications manager (QNX Neutrino)

Note: You must be root or have the right abilities to start this manager.

Syntax:

devc-pty [-C size] [-I size] [-n numptys] [-O size]
         [-o opt[,opt...]] [-U uid[:gid] [-v] &

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Options:

-C size
Specify the size of the canonical buffer in bytes (default 256).
-I size
Size of input buffer in bytes (default 256).
-n numptys
Create numptys ptys (default 8).
-O size
Size of output buffer in bytes (default 3 × 512).
-o opt[,opt...]
Additional options, separated by commas. The options include:
  • nodaemon — don't call procmgr_daemon() to make the driver run in the background. Use this option if you need to know when the device terminates.
  • priority=prio — set the working priority of the internal pulse.
-U uid[:gid]
(QNX Neutrino 6.6 or later) Set the user ID and group ID to run as.
-v
Increase the verbosity.

Description:

The devc-pty manager is a small pseudo-tty manager for the QNX Neutrino RTOS. It can support up to 256 ptys, using the naming scheme:

The master and slave device pair share the same letter and hexadecimal digit.

Examples:

Start devc-pty with 32 ptys:

devc-pty -n 32 &
