A @dfn{pseudo-terminal} is a special interprocess communication channel
that acts like a terminal. On one end of the channel is called the
that acts like a terminal. One end of the channel is called the
@dfn{master} side or @dfn{master pseudo-terminal device}, the other side
is called the @dfn{slave} side. Data written to the the master side is
is called the @dfn{slave} side. Data written to the master side is
received by the slave side as if it was the result of a user typing at
an ordinary terminal, and data written to the slave side is sent to the
master side as if it was written on an ordinary terminal.
