31 The empty utility provides an interface to execute and/or interact with
32 processes under pseudo-terminal sessions (PTYs). This tool is definitely
33 useful in programming of shell scripts designed to communicate with
34 interactive programs like telnet, ssh, ftp, etc. In some cases empty can
35 be the simplest replacement for TCL/expect or other similar programming
36 tools because empty:
37
38 - can be easily invoked directly from shell prompt or script
39 - does not use TCL, Perl, PHP, Python or anything else as an underlying language
40 - is written entirely in C
41 - has small and simple source code
42 - can easily be ported to almost all UNIX-like systems
