hi Serge :

Thanks for taking a look.

     I checked the code ,  only in lxc_controller.c call virFileOpenTtyAt().
     I didn't test the path, but my suggestion is that modify the
utility function in /src/util/util.c instead of adding a new
function.

But virFileOpenTtyAt() is called by virFileOpenTty() in the same
file.  So we really do want a new function using its own versions of
grantpt+unlockpt, because I think that, when we can, we want to continue
using the glibc versions.

So the safe approach seemed to me to be: put the container-specific
code into src/lxc/lxc_controller.c, then (in a separate patch) just fold
virFileOpenTtyAt(), straight into virFileOpenTty().

Correct - my intent was that we have:

src/util/util.c: virFileOpenTty() - generally useful by any driver, uses glibc, and also should use posix_openpt rather than than open("/dev/ptmx") for portability (gnulib provides posix_openpt). Completely ditch virFileOpenTtyAt() by inlining it back to virFileOpenTty(), and since no one could use what virFileOpenTtyAt() claimed to provide except in the portable case where virFileOpenTty() was sufficient.

src/lxc/lxc_controller.c - LXC-specific function that uses ioctl() instead of glibc for opening a private tty.
