Now we have a single /dev/snp device node, which can be opened by watch(8) multiple times. Even though snp(4) will be dead as of next week, it's nice having this in SVN, because: - We may want to MFC it to RELENG_7. - By the time we fix snp(4) again, it's already there, existing watch(8) binaries should already work. Just like bpf(4), I'm adding a symlink from snp0 to snp to remain binary compatible.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Pa /dev/snp
|
|
is a snoop device which allows users to attach to any tty
|
|
and watch activities on it.
|
|
The kernel must be compiled with
|
|
.Cd "device snp" ,
|
|
or the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module must be loaded,
|
|
for these devices to be available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To associate a given
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device with a tty to be observed, open the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device and a tty device, and then issue the
|
|
.Dv SNPSTTY
|
|
ioctl on
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device.
|
|
The argument passed to the
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
is the address of a variable of type
|
|
.Vt int ,
|
|
holding the file descriptor of a tty device.
|
|
To detach the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device from a tty use a pointer to a value of
|
|
\-1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SNPGTTY
|
|
ioctl returns information about the current tty attached to
|
|
the open
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv FIONREAD
|
|
ioctl returns a positive value equal to the number of characters
|
|
in a read buffer.
|
|
Special values defined are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv SNP_TTYCLOSE"
|
|
.It Dv SNP_OFLOW
|
|
device overflow occurred, device detached.
|
|
.It Dv SNP_TTYCLOSE
|
|
