      It's actually Brum's fork of ptfd, a utility for interacting with pseudo-TTY file descriptors.

          Brum is one of those suckless nerds so they actually made it so that your computer explodes if brumptfd detects it's running as a flatpak (poster's note: this is based)

          Also all the arguments are hardcoded and if you want to interact with any pttys other than /dev/pty/0 you have to edit the string constants in the file fuckusersifuckinghateusers.h and recompile the program

          Also also the last person who understood Unix terminal emulation died a few years ago but Brum made a deal with the Dark Lord* to let them to use one of hell's VT100 terminals once in a while to log into Brum's Linux system and provide patches and help keep brumptfd up-to-date (relative) and running on modern (relative) systems

          *It agreed because this is just another, worse form of torture than the boiling pots, fire, brimstone, etc, etc

              Just one of the many programs that make up the foundations (there are many, this is around the 7th layer of foundations) of your Unix system

              Btw Brum's homepage is at http://yuh.hkt.ame.bdt.arcanee.edu/cgi-bin/lispcgi.php?prog=rethomedir.cl&args=%22home%3D~brum%22 if you want to learn more
