+         A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
+         halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
+         a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
+         read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
+         terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
+         and xterms.
+
+         Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx
+         for masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo
+         terminals. This scheme has a number of problems, including
+         security.  This option enables these legacy devices; on most
+         systems, it is safe to say N.

+         The maximum number of legacy PTYs that can be used at any one time.
+         The default is 256, and should be more than enough.  Embedded
+         systems may want to reduce this to save memory.
+
+         When not in use, each legacy PTY occupies 12 bytes on 32-bit
+         architectures and 24 bytes on 64-bit architectures.
