📛 NAME

pty - Pseudo terminal utilities.

🚀 Quick Reference

💼 Use Case	⚙️ Command	📝 Description
Acquire a PTY pair	pty.openpty()	Returns (master_fd, slave_fd) — two file descriptors for the master and slave sides of a new pseudo-terminal.
Fork with controlling terminal	pty.fork()	Returns (pid, master_fd) — forks a child process that becomes a session leader with the new terminal as its controlling terminal.
Spawn a process in a PTY	pty.spawn(['/bin/bash'])	Creates a new process connected to a pseudo-terminal; the child's standard I/O is tied to the terminal, and the parent reads/writes through the master fd. Blocks until the child exits.
