Well, it's like this. First we find an open +tty/pty pair. Then we fork three processes. The first reads from stdin +and sends the info to the master device. The next process reads from the +master device and sends stuff to stdout. The last processes is the rest +of the command line arguments exec'd. By doing all this, the exec'd +process is fooled into flushing each line of output as it occurs. +.P +This program is intended as a 'helper' for ircII scripts. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B [ program ] +.TP +.B [ arguments to program] +.TP +.RE +.SH AUTHOR +.EX +Michael Sandrof +.EE +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ircII (1), +.BR irc (1) |
