tty is a thread-safe library to create and use a new pseudoterminal (PTY):

  • TtyServer: create a PTY dedicated to a new command
  • TtyClient: forward I/O from an existing TTY (user terminal)

The I/O forward uses splice(2), which is Linux specific, enabling zero-copy transfers.

You need to use a nightly Rust channel >= 1.8.0-dev to build this crate (because of unstable API use).

This library is a work in progress. The API may change.
