The current situation:
# su --pty - kzak
$ ll $(tty)
crw--w---- 1 root tty 136, 9 Feb 23 11:53 /dev/pts/9
$ mesg
mesg: cannot open /dev/pts/9: Permission denied
the pseudo-terminal is still owned by the original user.
New version:
# su --pty - kzak
# ll $(tty)
crw--w---- 1 kzak tty 136, 9 Feb 23 11:56 /dev/pts/9
# mesg
is y
The patch follows login(1) to change the pty owner and group. It
follows "TTYPERM" and "TTYGROUP" from login.defs (or econf lib).

When calling variadic functions, NULL must be explicitly cast to a
desired type.
This is noted in the exec(3) manpage.
The call in newgrp.c was changed for consistency.

The recent change in code improves main-pool on error, but we need
to kill child process if it still running to avoid hang up in next
waitpid().

Handle error based on return code of handle_io() and handle_signal().
Keep SIGTTIN unblocked during read() in handle_io().

Permanently turn off current stdin ECHO when it is a terminal and enable setting slave ECHO instead.
Fix other minor typos, update documentation.
[kzak@redhat.com: - remove irrelevant changes
- keep --echo argument unchanged]

It some cases it makes sense to disable ECHO flag also when script
used in pipe. This new option allows to keep full control in user's
hands.

We need a proper way how to inform child (shell) that the game is
over. It seems the best is to send EOF to child rather than
immediately break PTY mainloop where we have poll(), because shell can
still produce data etc.

For tools like su(1) is ECHO flag unexpected for use-case like
echo 'date' | su - user
but script(1) need the echo to keep input recorded.
The patch also return execlp() use to script(1) code.

It's necessary to create signal-fd before fork() to get SIGCHLD,
because child could be faster than our code.

Now the code is duplicate on many places, but all we usually need is to
remember child status. It seems good enough to have very simple
callback child_die() to inform application about a change.
The patch also add PID to all signal related callbacks.

This allows to control mainloop behavior from PTY applications. For
example you can write to child (shell) process independently on the
current stdin.

The idea is to consolidate script(1), scriptlive(1) and su(1) --pty
and use the same code everywhere.
TODO: add callbacks for stdin/out logging (necessary for script(1)).
