I<< B<It is of paramount importance that you at least read thw following |

paragraph!> >> |

If you are a typical terminal-like program that just wants one or more |
| 17 |
|
|
ptys, you should call the C<ptytty::init ()> method as the very first |
| 18 |
|
|
thing in your program: |
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) |
| 21 |
|
|
{ |
| 22 |
|
|
// do nothing here |
| 23 |
|
|
ptytty::init (); |
| 24 |
|
|
|
| 25 |
|
|
// initialise, parse arguments, etc. |
| 26 |
|
|
} |
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
This checks wether the program runs setuid or setgid. If yes then it will |
| 29 |
|
|
fork a helper process and drop privileges. |
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
Some programs need finer control over if and when this helper process is |
| 32 |
|
|
started, and if and how to drop privileges. |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
etc.. etc.. |
