/*
 * The pty object provides an interface for communicating with a child process
 * over a pseudo terminal. The child is the host, we act as the TTY terminal,
 * and the kernel is the driver.
 *
 * To use this, create a new pty object and open it. You will start receiving
 * output notifications through the output_cb callback. To communicate with
 * the other end of the terminal, use the kmscon_pty_input method. All
 * communication is done using byte streams (presumably UTF-8).
 *
 * The pty can be closed voluntarily using the kmson_pty_close method. The
 * child process can also exit at will; this will be communicated through the
 * closed_cb callback. The pty object does not wait on the child processes it
 * spawns; this is the responsibility of the object's user.
