pseudo-tty
Berkeley Unix networking device which appears to an application program as an
ordinary terminal but which is in fact connected via the network to a process
running on a different host or a windowing system. Pseudo-ttys have a slave half
and a control half. The slave tty (/dev/ttyp*) is the device that user programs
use and the control tty (/dev/ptyp*) is used by daemons to talk to the net.
