Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

libptytty is a small library that offers pseudo-tty management in an OS-independent way. It also offers session database support (utmp and optional wtmp/lastlog updates for login shells) and supports fork'ing after startup and dropping privileges in the calling process. Libptytty is written in C++, but it also offers a C-only API.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
