DESCRIPTION
Ttytype is a database containing, for each tty port on the system, the kind of terminal that is attached to that port. There is one line per port, containing the terminal kind (as a name listed in terminfo(5)), a space, and the name of the tty, less the initial "/dev/". For example, for an HP 2622 terminal on tty02:
2622 tty02
This information is read by tset(1) and by login(1) to initialize the TERM variable at login time.
