PTY TRANSPORT

The PTY transport uses a Unix pseudo-terminal device to communicate with another process on the host, as if it were over a serial port.

Moniker

The moniker syntax for a PTY transport is: pty[:path]. Where path, is used, is the path name where a symbolic link to the PTY will be created for convenience (the link will be removed when the transport is closed or when the process exits).

pty:virtual_hci Creates a PTY entry and a symbolic link, named virtual_hci, linking to the PTY
