     NAME
          tty_add, tty_kill - modify the /etc/inittab file

     SYNOPSIS
          ttyadd [-r] [-gtype] device[device...]
          ttykill

     DESCRIPTION
          These programs are designed to be run from a device
          initialization routine from /etc/autoconfig.  ttykill
          removes getty entries from  /etc/inittab for which no
          corresponding entry in /dev exists.  It would normally be
          run after running  devkill(1M) during a tty installation.
          ttyadd adds  getty entries to /etc/inittab for the devices
          listed.  It takes the followin flags:


          -r   Sets the inittab entry to ``respawn,'' by default the
               type is ``off''.

          -g   Sets the ``getty type'' (the name of an entry in the
               /etc/gettydefs file) to type.  The default is 9600.
