wip/detachtty 9 NetBSD

Detachtty is a Unix system programming utility that lets you run interactive programs (such as Lisp) non-interactively. Also, it allows you to connect to them over the network when you do need to interact with them. It's intended for use with long-running server processes running in Common Lisp implementations

If you've used screen, it's a similar concept, but more suited to traditional scrolling interfaces whereas screen is better for full-screen (e.g. curses-based) apps. Compared to screen, detachtty

• has no capability to swap between different screens (doesn't eat C-a)
• runs in line-at-a-time mode with no tty emulation (you can sanely use it in emacs comint modes or from inside a script(1) session)
• has no features (less to go wrong)
• and thus doesn't need a configuration file either
