NAME
Term::TtyWrite - remote control a terminal
SYNOPSIS
As root.
use Term::TtyWrite;
my $tty = Term::TtyWrite->new("/dev/ttyp1");
$tty->write("echo hi\n");DESCRIPTION
Remote control a terminal via the TIOCSTI ioctl. This typically requires that the code be run as root, or on Linux that the appropriate capability has been granted.
This module will throw an exception if anything goes awry; use eval or Try::Tiny to catch these, if necessary.
