NAME
ttytype - data base of terminal types by port
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ttytype
DESCRIPTION
ttytype is a database that identifies the kind of terminal that is attached to each tty port on the sys-
tem. The file contains one line per port, and each line contains the terminal type (as a name listed in ter-
minfo(4)), a space, and the name of the tty device file, less the initial
/dev/. For example, for an HP
2622 terminal on tty02:
2622 tty02
This information is read by tset and by
login (for remote logins) to initialize the TERM variable at
login time (see tset (1) and login (1)).
AUTHOR
ttytype was developed by the University of California, Berkeley.
SEE ALSO
login(1), tset(1).
WARNINGS
Some lines are identified simply as
dialup or plugboard.
