linux-4.14.30-211: Unselect CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
> 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                                            │
