  • A Multiplatform Pseudo Terminal
    A Multi-Platform Pseudo Terminal API Project Report Submitted in Partial Fulfillment for the Masters' Degree in Computer Science By Qutaiba Mahmoud Supervised By Dr. Clinton Jeffery ABSTRACT This project is the construction of a pseudo-terminal API, which will provide a pseudo-terminal interface access to interactive programs. The API is aimed at developing an extension to the Unicon language to allow Unicon programs to easily utilize applications that require user interaction via a terminal. A pseudo-terminal is a pair of virtual devices that provide a bidirectional communication channel. This project was constructed to enable an enhancement to a collaborative virtual environment, because it will allow external tools such to be utilized within the same environment. In general the purpose of this API is to allow the UNICON runtime system to act as the user via the terminal which is provided by the API, the terminal is in turn connected to a client process such as a compiler, debugger, or an editor. It can also be viewed as a way for the UNICON environment to control and customize the input and output of external programs. Table of Contents: 1. Introduction 1.1 Pseudo Terminals 1.2 Other Terminals 1.3 Relation To Other Pseudo Terminal Applications. 2. Methodology 2.1 Pseudo Terminal API Function Description 3. Results 3.1 UNIX Implementation 3.2 Windows Implementation 4. Conclusion 5. Recommendations 6. References Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Clinton Jeffery, for his support, patience and understanding. Dr. Jeffery has always been prompt in delivering and sharing his knowledge and in providing his assistance.
