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). SEE ALSO
modglue(1). prompt(1). See the web page at http://www.aei.mpg.de/~peekas/modglue/ for more information. AUTHORS
