 DESCRIPTION
        pckt is a STREAMS module that may be used with a pseudo terminal to
        packetize certain messages. The pckt module should be pushed (see
-       I_PUSH on  streamio(7I)) onto the master side of a pseudo terminal.
+       I_PUSH on streamio(7I)) onto the manager side of a pseudo terminal.
 
 
        Packetizing is performed by prefixing a message with an  M_PROTO
        message.  The original message type is stored in the 1 byte data
        portion of the M_PROTO message.

        M_STOPI, M_STARTI, M_IOCTL, M_DATA, M_FLUSH, and  M_READ messages are
        packetized. All other message types are passed upstream unmodified.
