Subject: Re: [CentOS-devel] /dev/pts/??

Do you mean this:

[root@lisse root]# tty /dev/pts/5

Yes, when I open a terminal or login in text mode via Telnet or SSh, the terminals ID is /dev/pts/1 In Sco Openserver it was /dev/tty01

My goal is to use tty's devices when I execute in a terminal and old SCO text application under Centos using linux_abi who stcck to identify a tty and getting is definition thru /etc/inittab and /etc/ttytype

tty is used for console terminals pts is used for 'virtual/pseudo' terminals (like created by ssh or screen)

There are other character terminal devices that are used for specific purposes, like ttyS for serial ports.

I understand these above lines, but want to operate with tty's for this application
