Quoting Eric Blake (eblake@redhat.com): ...
of /dev/pts, then passing that fd back to the parent; the alternative solution would be to ditch glibc interfaces and do the raw ioctl calls on the master pty ourselves. Since lxc is already Linux-specific, I think that I would favor this approach as being simpler (that is, completely ditch virFileOpenTtyAt, and teach lxc to just make the raw ioctl calls instead of using grantpt and unlockpt, all without forking or passing fds across a socket).
Serge, is this something you can attempt, or should I look into it more?
Hey Eric, yup, if it's acceptable to you I think that's the better, simpler approach. I'll send out a new patch. thanks, -serge
