Is there a way to simulate a keystroke to a program, ie. have a program send
it something so that as far as it's concerned, say, the "P" key has been
pressed?
Thanks,
The Nomad.

Look at the input system. Documentation/input/input-programming.txt has a great tutorial on how to do this.

You probably will want to write a program using uinput driver to
inject events into input subsystem from userspace. Then the rest of
the world will not be able to recognize whether the data comes from
your program of from a real keyboard.

Yes. That's what programs like telnetd do.
Look for man 4 pts.
