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.

It then accepts input from stdin and +sends it to that server. Likewise, it reads stuff sent from the server and +sends it to stdout. Simple? Yes, it is. But wait! There's more! It +also intercepts server PINGs and automatically responds to them.
