pseudo(1)
NAME
  pseudo - Starts a non-STREAMS pty interface for a STREAMS device

SYNOPSIS
  pseudo [-l] [-shell shell]

FLAGS
  -l  Starts a shell process as the login shell. By default, the command
      starts this process as an interactive shell.

  -shell shell
      Specifies the shell to be started.  By default, the command starts the
      shell set by the SHELL environment variable.

DESCRIPTION
  The pseudo command provides an appropriate interface for STREAMS tty
  devices that are installed on systems configured to use the non-STREAMS pty
  driver.

  The pseudo command opens a pair of master and slave pty devices, and starts
  a shell process. The command's flags allow you to override the default
  shell specification and to specify that the process be started as a login
  shell.

NOTES
  The pseudo command is available only when one or more of the DIGITAL UNIX
  optional subsets with worldwide support software are installed on your
  system.

  In order for the pseudo command to provide a non-STREAMS pty interface for
  STREAMS devices, the system must be configured to use the non-STREAMS pty
  driver.  If the system is configured to use the STREAMS pty driver, the
  command provides a STREAMS pty interface.
