EXTPROC support on Linux


A few new pty-related definitions will need to be added, corresponding to this feature going into the next Linux kernel:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/patches/tty/tty-add-extproc-support-for-linemode.patch

The EXTPROC bit has been added to the termios local flag word.

The TIOCSIG ioctl has been added.

The TIOCPKT_IOCTL bit has been added to pty packet mode.

I don't know how glibc coordinates with kernel feature additions, what needs to be done here to get the glibc headers up to date?

More information on these features is and their usage is available here:
