Was (wer) ist tty - definition
tty
<hardware> /tit'ee/ (ITS pronunciation, but some Unix
people say it this way as well; this pronunciation is not
considered to have sexual undertones), /T T Y/
1. teletypewriter.
2. (Especially Unix) Any terminal at all; sometimes used to
refer to the particular terminal controlling a given job (it
is also the name of a Unix command which outputs the name of
the current controlling terminal).
3. (Unix) Any serial port, whether or not the device
connected to it is a terminal; so called because under Unix
such devices have names of the form tty*. Ambiguity between

PAIR OF PSEUDO-DEVICES
Pseudo TTY; Pseudo-TTY; Pseudo terminal
Berkeley Unix networking device which appears to an
application program as an ordinary terminal but which is in
fact connected via the network to a process running on a
different host or a windowing system. Pseudo-ttys have a
slave half and a control half. The slave tty (/dev/ttyp*) is
the device that user programs use and the control tty
(/dev/ptyp*) is used by daemons to talk to the net.
