NAME
       kgrantpty - konsole uses this to securely open a slave pty

SYNOPSIS
       kgrantpty [OPTION] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
       kgrantpty  is  only intended to be used internally by konsole to open a
       slave pty securely.  It performs a setuid chmod and chown on the	 slave
       pty device.  Eavesdropping is prevented with the usage of a file handle
       as an argument. KPty automatically calls	 this  tool,  and  it  is  not
       intended to be called from the command line.

OPTIONS
       --grant
	      grant secure setuid root chmod and chown to the file descriptor

       --revoke
	      revoke  the  secure  setuid  root	 chmod and chown from the file
	      descriptor

SECURITY
       kgrantpty must be used as setuid root.

SEE ALSO
       ttyname(3), forkpty(3), tty(4), pty(7)
