PTYWRAP(1)
NAME
ptywrap - fool programs into thinking they are talking to a pseudo-tty
SYNOPSIS
ptywrap
DESCRIPTION
ptywrap is a simple tool to wrap other programs' input/output streams
in a pseudo-tty.
Many programs determine whether or not they should buffer their
input/output based on whether or not these are connected to a pseudotty. Ptywrap can be used to fool programs into thinking that they are
connected to a pseudo-tty even if they are not (e.g. even if the
input/output is redirected to a file).
