NAME
runpty – execute commands in a new pty
SYNOPSIS
runpty command [args]
DESCRIPTION
The runpty utility executes the given command with a new pty
(pseudo-terminal) as the controlling terminal.
Executing the command in a new pty mitigates the command from using
ioctl(2)'s like TIOCSTI and TIOCLINUX which can be used to execute
commands in the shell of the controlling terminal.
EXIT STATUS
The runpty utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
