That is, in fact, exactly what grantpt(), unlockpt(), and ptsname() are:
library routines to emulate Berkeley ptys over a Streams tty driver. I'd
guess these originated with SunOS, and they are certainly present on my SVR4
machine; but they are not part of SVR3.2. Assuming Sequent supplied them in
their port, you'll need to find the library where they live and add that to
your builds. Worst come to worst, you can use:
cd /usr/lib
nm lib*.a | grep ptsname
and narrow it down from there.
