Virtual console
A virtual console (VC) – also known as a virtual terminal (VT) – is a conceptual combination of the keyboard and display for a computer user interface. It is a feature of some Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, BSD, illumos, UnixWare, and macOS in which the system console of the computer can be used to switch between multiple virtual consoles to access unrelated user interfaces. Virtual consoles date back at least to Xenix and Concurrent CP/M in the 1980s.
Pseudo terminal
En informatique, certains systèmes d'exploitation parmi lesquels Unix implémentent la fonctionnalité du pseudo-terminal. Un pseudo terminal est composé d'un couple de pseudo-périphériques : un émulateur de console système, asservi à un processus de contrôle. Dans le système des pseudo-terminals (PTY : Pseudo TeletYpe) de la distribution BSD, le contrôleur périphérique asservi dont la nomenclature est de type /dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f] implémente la prise en charge des appels système de manière équivalente à celle de n'importe quelle console physique.
Communication endpoint
A communication endpoint is a type of communication network node. It is an interface exposed by a communicating party or by a communication channel. An example of the latter type of a communication endpoint is a publish-subscribe topic or a group in group communication systems.
