close()

void KPty::close

(

)

Close the pty master/slave pair.

login()

void KPty::login	(	const char *	user = 0,
		const char *	remotehost = 0
	)

Creates an utmp entry for the tty.

This function must be called after calling setCTty and making this pty the stdin.

Parameters

user	the user to be logged on
remotehost	the host from which the login is coming. This is not the local host. For remote logins it should be the hostname of the client. For local logins from inside an X session it should be the name of the X display. Otherwise it should be empty.

)

const

Returns

the file descriptor of the master pty

This function should be called only while the pty is open.

Definition at line 590 of file kpty.cpp.

open()

bool KPty::open

(

)

Create a pty master/slave pair.

Returns

slaveFd()

int KPty::slaveFd

(

)

const

Returns

the file descriptor of the slave pty

This function should be called only while the pty is open.

Definition at line 595 of file kpty.cpp.
