NAME

       ptywrap - fool programs into thinking they are talking to a pseudo-tty

SYNOPSIS

       ptywrap

DESCRIPTION

       ptywrap is a simple tool to wrap other programs' input/output streams in a pseudo-tty.

       Many  programs  determine  whether  or  not they should buffer their input/output based on
       whether or not these are connected to a pseudo-tty. Ptywrap can be used to  fool  programs
       into  thinking  that they are connected to a pseudo-tty even if they are not (e.g. even if
       the input/output is redirected to a file).
