public class PosixPtyTerminal extends AbstractPosixTerminal
Terminal implementation for POSIX systems using a pseudoterminal (PTY).

The PosixPtyTerminal class provides a terminal implementation for POSIX systems (Linux, macOS, etc.) that uses a pseudoterminal (PTY) for terminal operations. It extends the AbstractPosixTerminal class and adds functionality specific to PTY-based terminals.

This implementation is used when a full terminal emulation is needed, such as when creating a terminal for an external process or when connecting to a remote terminal. It provides access to the master and slave sides of the PTY, allowing for bidirectional communication with the terminal.

Key features of this implementation include:

  • Full terminal emulation using a pseudoterminal
  • Support for terminal attributes and size changes
  • Access to both master and slave sides of the PTY
  • Support for non-blocking I/O
