+ help
+ Provide a libutil library.
+ This non-standard conforming library provides the following
+ utility functions:
+
+ forkpty(): combines openpty(), fork(2), and login_tty() to
+ create a new process operating in a pseudo-terminal.
+ login(): write utmp and wtmp entries
+ login_tty(): prepares for a login on the tty fd by creating a
+ new session, making fd the controlling terminal for
+ the calling process, setting fd to be the standard
+ input, output, and error streams of the current
+ process, and closing fd.
+ logout(): write utmp and wtmp entries
+ logwtmp(): constructs a utmp structure and calls updwtmp() to
+ append the structure to the utmp file.
+ openpty(): finds an available pseudo-terminal and returns
+ file descriptors for the master and slave
+
+ This library adds about 3k-4k to your system.
