35 .Nd system utilities library
41 library is the system utilities library and contains various
42 system-dependent utility routines used in a wide variety of system daemons.
43 The abstracted functions are mostly related to pseudo-terminals
48 Their use should be restricted.
50 Declarations for these functions may be obtained from the include file
54 library and the associated functions are implemented within the
55 .Pa /usr/src/lib/libutil
