Subject: | pty functionality in libutil.a |
There are several pty functions in libutil.a, apparently provided by the inetutils package, that could profitably be moved into cygwin proper. It looks as though they are standard BSD pty functions, and are very small. The performance of one of them, forkpty(), could be improved by using vfork() instead of fork(), if the setsid()/vfork() interaction gets fixed. Joe Buehler
