tty is a thread-safe library to create and use a new pseudoterminal (PTY):
TtyServer
: create a PTY dedicated to a new commandTtyClient
: forward I/O from an existing TTY (user terminal)
The I/O forward uses splice(2)
, which is Linux specific, enabling zero-copy transfers.
You need to use a nightly Rust channel >= 1.8.0-dev to build this crate (because of unstable API use).
This library is a work in progress. The API may change.
