    The TTY Demystified

    This article was on Hacker News this morning:

    The TTY demystified

    It explains what all of this funky tty, pty and vt100 stuff is that we keep seeing in the Linux world. Once it started getting into signals and jobs, it was stuff that I've already encountered, but the tty information was truly new to me, and is interesting. I recommend giving the article a read.

    I just found that same article on reddit. That's the most depth I've ever seen it explained to. It's crazy to see how it all started out with actual stock-ticking teletypes!
