Introduction + +This extension module adds ruby a functionality to execute an +arbitrary command through pseudo tty (pty). + +2. Install + +Follow the instruction below. + +(1) Execute + + ruby extconf.rb + + then Makefile is generated. + +(3) Do make; make install. + +3. What you can do + +This extension module defines a module named PTY, which contains +following module fungtions: + + getpty(command) + spawn(command) + + This function reserves a pty, executes command over the pty + and returns an array. The return value is an array with three + elements. The first element in the array is for reading and the + second for writing. The third element is the process ID of the + child process. If this function is called with an iterator block, + the array is passed to the block as block parameters, and the + function itself returns nil. + + When the child process is suspended or finished, an exception is + raised. If this function is called with an iterator block, + exception is raised only within the block. Child process + monitor is terminated on block exit. + + protect_signal + reset_signal + + These functions are obsolete in this version of pty. + +4.
