.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
/dev/snp? are snoop devices which allow user to attach to any tty
|
|
and watch activities on it.
|
|
|
|
To associate a given
|
|
.Nm snp
|
|
device with a tty to be observed, open the
|
|
.Nm snp
|
|
device and then use the SNPSTTY ioctl.
|
|
The argument passed to the IOCTL is the address of a variable of type
|
|
dev_t.
|
|
By setting the value of the variable pointed to to -1, the user may detach
|
|
the snp device from a tty.
|
|

|
The SNPGTTY ioctl returns information about the current tty attached to
|
|
the open
|
|
.Nm snp
|
|
device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The FIONREAD ioctl returns a positive value equal to the number of characters
|
