  pty is a tool to help debug console programs which take the terminal out of
  canonical mode, by allowing the program being debugged and the debugger to run
  on separate terminal devices.

  To use pty, the programmer changes to the terminal device where he or she
  wishes to interact with the program to be debugged, and at the shell
  prompt, runs pty with no arguments.  Pty will print out the filename of the
  slave side of the pseudo-terminal it has opened.  Inside the debugger,
  running in another terminal device, one then redirects the program to be
  debugged's IO to the slave (tty command of gdb).  When you are finished
  using pty, you must manually kill it.  When pty starts it prints out its
  pid.
