Linux的TTY和伪TTY
在Linux系统中,用户通常会通过命令行界面进行交互。这个命令行界面通常被称为终端(Terminal)。但在更底层,我们实际上是在与TTY设备进行交互。那么,什么是TTY设备呢?下面将从多个角度进行深入讲解。
1. TTY的历史和定义
1.1 TTY的历史
“TTY”是"Teletypewriter"的缩写,源自早期的电传打字机设备。这些设备最初用于发送电报,在计算机时代,它们转变为一种输入/输出设备,用于连接到计算机系统。因此,当我们在Linux中谈论TTY时,我们实际上是在参考这些历史设备的现代等效物。
$ tty
/dev/pts/0
1.2 TTY的定义
在Linux系统中,TTY是一个特殊的设备文件,用于表示一个物理或虚拟的终端。每一个TTY都有一个唯一的设备文件,通常位于/dev/
目录下,例如/dev/tty1
,/dev/tty2
等。每个设备文件都与一个特定的终端相关联。
2. 伪TTY(PTY)
2.1 伪TTY的定义
伪TTY(PTY)是一种虚拟设备,模拟真实TTY的行为。正如其名,它并不直接关联任何物理设备,而是作为软件创建,以供程序像使用真实TTY一样使用。
2.2 PTY的工作方式
伪终端由两部分组成:主设备(PTY master)和从设备(PTY slave)。主设备用于接收来自进程的输入,并将输出传送给从设备;从设备则用于接收来自用户(例如键盘输入)的输入,并将输出传送给主设备。
$ ls /dev/ptmx
/dev/ptmx
$ ls /dev/pts/
0 1 2 3 ptmx
3. TTY和伪TTY的应用
3.1 控制台
在Linux系统启动时,系统会自动开启多个TTY,即所谓的控制台。你可以通过按下Ctrl+Alt+F[1-6]快捷键切换到这些控制台。
3.2 终端模拟器
当我们在图形界面中打开一个终端窗口时,我们实际上是在使用一个终端模拟器,这个终端模拟器是通过伪TTY实现的。
4. 结论
虽然TTY和伪TTY的概念可能有点复杂,但它们是Linux系统中的重要组成部分,了解它们的工作原理有助于更好地理解Linux系统的运行机制。
