//config:config CTTYHACK
//config:	bool "cttyhack"
//config:	default y
//config:	help
//config:	  One common problem reported on the mailing list is "can't access tty;
//config:	  job control turned off" error message which typically appears when
//config:	  one tries to use shell with stdin/stdout opened to /dev/console.
//config:	  This device is special - it cannot be a controlling tty.
//config:
//config:	  Proper solution is to use correct device instead of /dev/console.
//config:
//config:	  cttyhack provides "quick and dirty" solution to this problem.
//config:	  It analyzes stdin with various ioctls, trying to determine whether
//config:	  it is a /dev/ttyN or /dev/ttySN (virtual terminal or serial line).
//config:	  If it detects one, it closes stdin/out/err and reopens that device.
//config:	  Then it executes given program. Opening the device will make
//config:	  that device a controlling tty. This may require cttyhack
//config:	  to be a session leader.
//config:
//config:	  Example for /etc/inittab (for busybox init):
//config:
//config:	  ::respawn:/bin/cttyhack /bin/sh
//config:
//config:	  Starting an interactive shell from boot shell script:
//config:
//config:	  setsid cttyhack sh
//config:
//config:	  Giving controlling tty to shell running with PID 1:
//config:
//config:	  # exec cttyhack sh
//config:
//config:	  Without cttyhack, you need to know exact tty name,
//config:	  and do something like this:
//config:
//config:	  # exec setsid sh -c 'exec sh </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1'
//config:
