<p class="Pp"><span class="Pa">/dev/snp</span> is a snoop device which allows
    users to attach to any tty and watch activities on it. The kernel must be
    compiled with <code class="Cd">device snp</code>, or the
    <code class="Nm">snp</code> module must be loaded, for these devices to be
    available.</p>
<p class="Pp">To associate a given <code class="Nm">snp</code> device with a tty
    to be observed, open the <code class="Nm">snp</code> device and a tty
    device, and then issue the <code class="Dv">SNPSTTY</code> ioctl on
    <code class="Nm">snp</code> device. The argument passed to the
    <a class="Xr">ioctl(2)</a> is the address of a variable of type
    <var class="Vt">int</var>, holding the file descriptor of a tty device. To
    detach the <code class="Nm">snp</code> device from a tty use a pointer to a
    value of -1.</p>
<p class="Pp">The <code class="Dv">SNPGTTY</code> ioctl returns information
    about the current tty attached to the open <code class="Nm">snp</code>
    device.</p>
<p class="Pp">The <code class="Dv">FIONREAD</code> ioctl returns a positive
    value equal to the number of characters in a read buffer. Special values
    defined are:</p>
<dl class="Bl-tag">
  <dt id="SNP_TTYCLOSE"><a class="permalink" href="#SNP_TTYCLOSE"><code class="Dv">SNP_TTYCLOSE</code></a></dt>
  <dd>tty not attached.</dd>
  <dt id="SNP_DETACH"><a class="permalink" href="#SNP_DETACH"><code class="Dv">SNP_DETACH</code></a></dt>
  <dd><code class="Nm">snp</code> device has been detached by user or tty device
      has been closed and detached.</dd>
