Perhaps we should have instead a new common chardev property "hup-drop" ? (suggestions for better name welcome) Either way, when a pty is disconnected data will get dropped, whether by the pty backend (as proposed) or by the serial port device or other frontend (as currently). The only difference from a user's perspective is whether the dropped data gets written to the log file, which is the main motivation for this change. The backward compatibility concern would be an existing application that relies on data not being logged when the pty is disconnected. --Ed -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
