Pty.newSync

Allocates a new pseudo-terminal.

You can later use fork() or the [glib.global.spawnAsync] family of functions to start a process on the PTY.

If using fork(), you MUST call [vte.pty.Pty.childSetup] in the child.

If using [glib.global.spawnAsync] and friends, you MUST either use [vte.pty.Pty.childSetup] directly as the child setup function, or call [vte.pty.Pty.childSetup] from your own child setup function supplied.

When using [vte.terminal.Terminal.spawnSync] with a custom child setup function, [vte.pty.Pty.childSetup] will be called before the supplied function; you must not call it again.

Also, you MUST pass the G_SPAWN_DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD flag.

Note also that G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL, G_SPAWN_STDERR_TO_DEV_NULL, and G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN are not supported, since stdin, stdout and stderr of the child process will always be connected to the PTY.

Note that you should set the PTY's size using [vte.pty.Pty.setSize] before spawning the child process, so that the child process has the correct size from the start instead of starting with a default size and then shortly afterwards receiving a <literal>SIGWINCH</literal> signal. You should prefer using [vte.terminal.Terminal.ptyNewSync] which does this automatically.
