Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
Among these:
- AIX has /dev/ptc.
- HP-UX 10..11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 2.6..9, Cygwin 1.5
have /dev/ptmx.
- HP-UX 10..11 also has /dev/ptym/clone, but this should not be needed.
- OpenBSD 4.9 has /dev/ptm and the PTMGET ioctl.
- Minix 3.1.8 have a list of pseudo-terminal devices in /dev.
- On native Windows, there are no ttys at all. */
