[FOSS-GPS] Can rtkrcv create a pseudo-terminal?

[Fred Labrosse]

Hello Anthony,

I'll have a look but I think it does the same in terms of serial ports, as 
in only deals with real ones.  I did a grep on all the sources and did not 
find any of the function calls I would have expected if pseudo ttys were 
created anywhere.

Looking more at the code, it would actually not be difficult to implement 
that (on the Unix side anyway).  The open serial functions would be a bit 
different, but the rest would be the same.

I'll give it a go.

Fred
