NAME
       ptem - Null STREAMS module for pseudoterminal emulation

DESCRIPTION
       The ptem module is a null STREAMS module that Tru64 UNIX provides to applications for use in place of the AT&T System V Release 4 ptem mod-
       ule.  The AT&T System V Release 4 ptem module emulates a pseudoterminal when used in conjunction with a line discipline and  a  pty  device
       driver.	In Tru64 UNIX, all of the AT&T ptem functions are included in the pty slave device driver.

       The  client  process  pushes  the  null	ptem  module onto the slave side of the pty device stream below the ldterm module by a call to the
       STREAMS I_PUSH ioctl() function.
