Yes. Unfortunately, on Linux, our beloved GNU project has forsaken 'man' in
favor of 'info', and there are no manpages for openpty or forkpty. You have
to 'info libc' and then '/openpty'. None of your other find/grep solutions
would find it, unless you start gunzipping all the .gz files in the info
directories ;)

"Yes! And after that, you must give us all a good spanking!"
<all: yes, spanking, spanking!>
"And after that, oral sex!"
