Devpts

devpts is a virtual filesystem available in the Linux kernel since version 2.1.93 (April 1998). It is normally mounted at /dev/pts and contains solely device files which represent slaves to the multiplexing master located at /dev/ptmx. A pseudoterminal pair is similar to a bidirectional pipe. Anything that is written on the master appears as input on the slave, and anything that is written on the slave appears as input on the master. Like pipes, pseudoterminals have a limited capacity. On Linux, the pseudoterminal capacity is about 4 KiB in each direction.
