ptywrap(1)

NAME

   ptywrap - fool programs into thinking they are talking to a pseudo-tty

SYNOPSIS

   ptywrap

DESCRIPTION

   ptywrap  is  a simple tool to wrap other programs' input/output streams
   in a pseudo-tty.

   Many programs  determine  whether  or  not  they  should  buffer  their
   input/output  based  on whether or not these are connected to a pseudo-
   tty. Ptywrap can be used to fool programs into thinking that  they  are
   connected  to  a  pseudo-tty  even  if  they  are not (e.g. even if the
   input/output is redirected to a file).
