Look into the MAKEDEV script.
pty*)
class=`expr $i : 'pty\(.*\)'`
case $class in
0) offset=0 name=p;;
1) offset=32 name=q;;
2) offset=64 name=r;;
3) offset=96 name=s;;
# Note that xterm (at least) only look at p-s.
4) offset=128 name=P;;
5) offset=160 name=Q;;
6) offset=192 name=R;;
7) offset=224 name=S;;
# This still leaves [tuTU].
*) echo bad unit for pty in: $i;;
esac
case $class in
0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7)
umask 0
You can do a
sh MAKEDEV pty0 pty1 pty2 ... and such
watch the results afterwards !
