SYSTTY(M)                            UNIX System V



     Name
          systty - system maintenance device


     Description
          The file /dev/systty is the device  on  which  system  error
          messages are displayed.  The actual physical device accessed
          via /dev/systty is selected during boot,  and  is  typically
          the  device  used  to  control  the  bootup  procedure.  The
          default  physical  device  /dev/systty  is   determined   by
          boot(HW) when the system is brought up.

          Initially /dev/console is linked to /dev/systty.
