Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to attach an xterm to a process/thread ? Post 302169917 by RipClaw on Saturday 23rd of February 2008 02:37:13 AM

Question

I am programming in C.

My idea is to use the
'xterm -Sccn' option.

Unfortunately I am not clear about what "Inherited file descriptor" means Smilie
Quote:
-Sccn This option allows xterm to be used as an input and output
channel for an existing program and is sometimes used in spe-
cialized applications. The option value specifies the last
few letters of the name of a pseudo-terminal to use in slave
mode, plus the number of the inherited file descriptor. If
the option contains a "/" character, that delimits the char-
acters used for the pseudo-terminal name from the file
descriptor. Otherwise, exactly two characters are used from
the option for the pseudo-terminal name, the remainder is the
file descriptor. Examples:
-S123/45
-Sab34
Happened to find somebody else fiddling with that option here ...

grantpt(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 					       grantpt(3C)

NAME
grantpt - grant access to the slave pseudo-terminal device SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> int grantpt(int fildes); DESCRIPTION
The grantpt() function changes the mode and ownership of the slave pseudo-terminal device associated with its master pseudo-terminal counterpart. fildes is the file descriptor returned from a successful open of the master pseudo-terminal device. A setuid root program (see setuid(2)) is invoked to change the permissions. The user ID of the slave is set to the real UID of the calling process and the group ID is set to a reserved group. The permission mode of the slave pseudo-terminal is set to readable and writable by the owner and writable by the group. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, grantpt() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The grantpt() function may fail if: EBADF The fildes argument is not a valid open file descriptor. EINVAL The fildes argument is not associated with a master pseudo-terminal device. EACCES The corresponding slave pseudo-terminal device could not be accessed. USAGE
The grantpt() function will fail if it is unable to successfully invoke the setuid root program. It may also fail if the application has installed a signal handler to catch SIGCHLD signals. ATTRIBUTES
