This is fine with me. ttyname_r is written by me, not from glibc, and I'm not sure the code in glibc would help if someone would want to reimplement it. But fine with me. > I'm also planning on adding a posix_openpt module. This is not needed. As you can see from the code in lib/openpt.c, posix_openpt() is one part of openpty(). Since we have an openpty() that works on all Unix platforms, and openpty() comes from the glibc API, why should anyone want to use posix_openpt()?
