.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
|
|
tty not attached.
|
|
.It Dv SNP_DETACH
|
|

|
|
device first appeared in

.An \&Ed Schouten Aq Mt ed@FreeBSD.org .
|
|
Previous versions of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
were based on code written by
|
|
.An Ugen J.S. Antsilevich Aq Mt ugen@NetVision.net.il .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
This version of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not return proper error codes when calling
|
|
.Dv FIONREAD .
|
|
It also does not allow
|
|
.Dv SNPSTTY
|
|
to detach itself from the TTY.
