At least on Solaris 10 (don't have anything newer handy at the moment): # modinfo|grep ' sy ' 190 7b7f5570 59c 22 1 sy (Indirect driver for tty 'sy' 1.) # ls -lL /dev/tty crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 22, 0 Aug 6 11:44 /dev/tty In other words, sy implements /dev/tty...and probably predates STREAMS-based ttys even. (I'm having SVR2 flashbacks, having read a lot of that code way back when. In fact, I think back in even earlier code, the sy driver handled something else in addition, maybe the console, as another minor device. But maybe my memory is playing tricks on me.) So I'm presuming that under normal use, the streamio code takes care of the TIOCNOTTY ioctl, and it never gets down to the sy driver (which by the comments, couldn't safely handle it). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
