NAME

ttytype − data base of terminal types by port

DESCRIPTION

Ttytype is a database containing, for each tty port on the system, the kind of terminal that is attached to it.  There is one line per port, containing the terminal kind (as a name listed in termcap (5)), a space, and the name of the tty, minus /dev/. 

This information is read by tset(1) and by login(1) to initialize the TERM environment variable at login time.

EXAMPLE

dw  console
3a  tty0
h19 tty1
h19 tty2

FILES

/etc/ttytype

SEE ALSO

tset(1), login(1)

BUGS

Some lines are merely known as "dialup" (du).
