It is not a “tangled mess” of ioctls. 2. Also, I don’t know why it said “runtime”. OSes don’t have runtimes, but kernels! And libc is not a runtime, but just a library. Other languages usually have runtimes, but they also usually use libc. :) (I’ve just come from a week of deeply looking into syscalls and ioctls.) undo

The pseudo-terminal just emulates a serial port; it doesn't emulate a terminal attached to the port - either there's a real terminal from which somebody's logging in via Telnet/SSH/etc., or there's a terminal emulator. undo

The ioctl code containing a 1-byte device/device class code, usually an ASCII character, and a 1-byte request code for that device or device class, dates back to V7. undo
