svn commit: r188697 - head/sys/dev/streams

[Ed Schouten]

Author: ed

New Revision: 188697
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/188697

Log:
  The streams ptm code is pretty awful and likely incorrect. I don't know
  anything about streams, so I'm not going to fix it. Just a small comment
  to redirect folks to posix_openpt().

Modified:
  head/sys/dev/streams/streams.c
