NAME

typeof − get the typeof of a terminal from the ttytype data base

SYNOPSIS

typeof(tty)
char tty; char *
stypeof(tty)
char tty;

DESCRIPTION

These routines extract the terminal type from the ttytype data base given a single character terminal character such as returned from ttyn (III).  The only difference between the two routines is that typeof returns two characters packed into an integer, while stypeof returns a pointer to a string; the string is in a static place so it must be saved if stypeof is to be called again.
