NAME¶
ptywrap - fool programs into thinking they are talking to a pseudo-tty
SYNOPSIS¶
ptywrap
DESCRIPTION¶
ptywrap is a simple tool to wrap other programs' input/output streams in
a pseudo-tty.
Many programs determine whether or not they should buffer their input/output
based on whether or not these are connected to a pseudo-tty. Ptywrap can be
used to fool programs into thinking that they are connected to a pseudo-tty
even if they are not (e.g. even if the input/output is redirected to a file).
