characters.
getty also understands the ‘‘standard’’ ESS2 protocols for erasing, killing and aborting a line, and terminat-
ing a line. If getty sees the ESS erase character, _, or kill character, $, or abort character, &, or the ESS
line terminators, / or !, it arranges for this set of characters to be used for these functions.
Finally, login is called with the user’s name as an argument. Additional arguments can be typed after the
login name. These are passed to login, which places them in the environment (see login(1)).
Check Option
A check option is provided. When getty is invoked with the -c option and file, it scans file as if scanning
/etc/gettydefs and prints the results on the standard output. If there are any unrecognized modes
or improperly constructed entries, getty reports these. If the entries are correct, getty prints out the values
of the various flags. See ioctl(2) for an interpretation of values. Note that some values are added to the
flags automatically.
DEPENDENCIES
HP2334 MultiMux:
The modem control parameter MRTS must be present in the
/etc/gettydefs file when using getty in
conjunction with an
HP2334
or HP2335 MultiMux to ensure that the RTS modem control signal is asserted
correctly.
Example:
9600# B9600 HUPCL PARENB MRTS # B9600 SANE PARENB ISTRIP IXANY #login: #19200
MRTS
is not intended for use with devices other than the HP2334
or HP2335 MultiMux.
FILES

BUGS
While getty does understand simple single character quoting conventions, it is not possible to quote the spe-
cial control characters that getty uses to determine when the end of the line has been reached, which proto-
col is being used, and what the erase character is. Therefore it is not possible to log in by means of getty
and type a
#, @, /, !, _, backspace, ˆU, ˆD
,or & as part of your login name or arguments. They will
always be interpreted as having their special meaning as described above.
