It was based on the pty(4) driver which as a tty side an a non-tty side.
Nmdm(4) seems to have inherited two symmetric sides from pty but
unfortunately they are not quite ttys. Running a getty one one
side and tip on the other failed to produce NL->CRNL mapping for
instance.
Rip out the basically bogus cdevsw->{read,write} functions and rely
on ttyread() and ttywrite() which does the same thing.
Use taskqueue_swi_giant to run a task for either side to do what
needs to be done. (Direct calling is not an option as it leads to
recursion.) Trigger the task from the t_oproc and t_stop methods.
Default the ports to not ECHO. Since we neither rate limiting nor
emulation, two ports echoing each other is a really bad idea, which
can only be properly mitigated by rate limiting, rate emulation or
intelligent detection. Rate emulation would be a neat feature.
Ditch the modem-line emulation, if needed for some app, it needs
to be thought much more about how it interacts with the open/close
logic.
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
