Überblick
Lightweight Expect-like PTY tool for shell scripts
Verlauf
`empty` is a lightweight Unix PTY automation tool meant to let shell scripts drive interactive programs without pulling in Tcl/Expect, Perl, Python, or a larger scripting runtime.
The official site says `empty` was written by Mikhail E. Zakharov, based on the idea of Daniel J. Bernstein's pty-4.0 but without porting pty-4.0 code. Its copyright notice spans 2005 to 2020.
The project page lists successful compilation and testing on a broad set of Unix-like systems, including BSDs, macOS, Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, OSF1, and Cygwin. That portability is the main adoption story rather than a large ecosystem.
`empty` runs a process under a pseudo-terminal and then sends or waits for text through named input and output files. The homepage compares a short telnet login sequence against Tcl/Expect, Perl Expect, and Python Pexpect examples.
The package is interesting because it keeps the old Unix promise small: PTY scripting from plain shell, entirely in C, with minimal dependencies. It is the sort of utility that survives in package managers because it solves one awkward automation job without dragging in a language stack.
