PAD(4)                          Domain/OS BSD                           PAD(4)



NAME
     pad - interface to processes opened on a transcript pad

DESCRIPTION
     The files /dev/pad* provide a read-write interface between other
     processes and shells opened on a transcript pad.  Such shells typically
     are opened using the Display Manager's cp (create_process) command.  If
     the -n (name) option to cp is omitted, it assigns the name padnn to the
     transcript pad, where nn ranges from 0 to 31.

FILES
