Who command output

[Wanch]

When you type "who" or "w" in the console you get an output like:

USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
root     pts/0    10.22.32 20:47    0.00s  0.01s  0.00s w

What does the TTY - pts/0 mean? Is tty type? If so, what is pts/0?

TTY is a type of port. I'm unsure what pts/0 stands for or means.

I can't find what PTS means either but I'm guessing the "t" means terminal?

Well I searched online, but did not find what that is, but I found something related to terminal....but still have no idea what this is.

What terminal? You mean the actual konsole/console/terminal application?

[TcM]

I have no idea! I just saw that it was related to terminal.... can't be much of a help...

[LinuxBomber]

Hmm.... where did you find it?

I found it here

Here is a quote:

List only process data associated with term. Terminal identifiers are specified as a device file name, and an identifier. For example, term/a, or pts/0.
