-Pseudo-Terminals (ptys) are a type of interprocess communication with a master
-and a slave end. One program (in our case nullmodem) opens the master sides of
-connections and therefore provides connectible slave sides of connections.
-If nullmodem receives some data on one of these connections it retransmits them
-on all other connections. It can be seen as a network with star-type wiring.
-Because the names of the slave side ptys are dynamic, nullmodem creates
-symbolic links to filenames of your choice.
-e.g. the command nullmodem /tmp/loop0 /tmp/loop1 /tmp/loop2
-creates a pty-network with 3 slave sides linked to the names /tmp/loop0,
-/tmp/loop1 and /tmp/loop2.
-If you close a slave side connection nullmodem will detect this and provide
-a new stub to connect to and update the symbolic link.
