GETTYTAB(5)             GENIX Programmer's Manual             GETTYTAB(5)



      NAME
           gettytab - terminal line description database

      SYNOPSIS
           /etc/gettytab

      DESCRIPTION
           Each time a new instance of getty(8) starts up, it reads gettytab to
           obtain  information on what line characteristics are appropriate for
           the terminal port in question.

           Gettytab is structured as a sequence of lines of the form:

                type nexttype speed initflags finalflags loginmsg

           Fields are separated by spaces.  Blank lines and lines starting with
           the character `#' are comments.

           Type and nexttype name entries in gettytab; type names  the  current
           entry,  and  nexttype  gives the name of the next entry for getty to
           try (after it receives a break).  Entries are  usually  arranged  in
           cycles.   Because  init  passes a single character to getty as argu-
           ment, the type of the first entry in a cycle  should  consist  of  a
           single character.  Entries that are not directly accessible may have
           multi-character types.

           Speed gives the line speed to use; legal values are: 0, 50, 75, 110,
           134, 134.5, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
           EXTA, EXTB, and ?.  The last of  these  denotes  unknown  speed;  it
           tells  getty  to  apply  its auto-baud routine to determine the true
           line speed.

           Initflags    and    finalflags    give    mode    flags    (as    in
           /usr/include/sgtty.h)  for  getty to apply respectively when reading
           the login name and afterwards.  Legal values are: ANYP, BS1, CBREAK,
           CR1,  CR2, CR3, CRMOD, ECHO, EVENP, FF1, LCASE, NL1, NL2, NL3, ODDP,
           RAW, TAB1, TAB2, TANDEM, and XTABS.  Multiple values may  be  given,
           separated by `|'.

           Loginmsg is a string to be printed immediately  before  the  banner.
           Control characters and spaces are represented by C-style escapes.

      EXAMPLE
           Here is a sample pair of entries:

           # VT100 and similar terminals:
           #    Cycles between 9600 and 19200 baud;
           #    makes the banner line double width.
           v v19200 9600 ANYP|RAW|NL1|CR1 ANYP|XTABS|ECHO|CRMOD \33<\33[2J\33#6
           v19200 v 19200 ANYP|RAW|NL1|CR1 ANYP|XTABS|ECHO|CRMOD \33<\33[2J\33#6
