config CCW bool default y source "drivers/block/Kconfig" source "drivers/md/Kconfig" menu "Character device drivers" config UNIX98_PTYS bool "Unix98 PTY support" ---help--- A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers and xterms. Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later, however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/. What was traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example. The entries in /dev/pts/ are created on the fly by a virtual file system; therefore, if you say Y here you should say Y to "/dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs" as well. If you want to say Y here, you need to have the C library glibc 2.1 or later (equal to libc-6.1, check with "ls -l /lib/libc.so.*"). Read the instructions in pertaining to pseudo terminals. It's safe to say N. config UNIX98_PTY_COUNT int "Maximum number of Unix98 PTYs in use (0-2048)" depends on UNIX98_PTYS default "256" help The maximum number of Unix98 PTYs that can be used at any one time. The default is 256, and should be enough for desktop systems. Server machines which support incoming telnet/rlogin/ssh connections and/or serve several X terminals may want to increase this: every incoming connection and every xterm uses up one PTY. When not in use, each additional set of 256 PTYs occupy approximately 8 KB of kernel memory on 32-bit architectures. config HANGCHECK_TIMER tristate "Hangcheck timer" help The hangcheck-timer module detects when the system has gone out to lunch past a certain margin. It can reboot the system or merely print a warning. source "drivers/char/watchdog/Kconfig" comment "S/390 character device drivers" config TN3270 tristate "Support for locally attached 3270 terminals" help Include support for IBM 3270 terminals. config TN3270_TTY tristate "Support for tty input/output on 3270 terminals" depends on TN3270 help Include support for using an IBM 3270 terminal as a Linux tty. config TN3270_FS tristate "Support for fullscreen applications on 3270 terminals" depends on TN3270 help Include support for fullscreen applications on an IBM 3270 terminal. config TN3270_CONSOLE bool "Support for console on 3270 terminal" depends on TN3270=y && TN3270_TTY=y help Include support for using an IBM 3270 terminal as a Linux system console.
