|
The
|
||
|
|
.B ttytab
|
||
|
|
file lists all the terminal devices that one can login on. It is a simple
|
||
|
|
text file that contains lines of the form:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.RS
|
||
|
|
.ft I
|
||
|

|

|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I name
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I type
|
||
|
|
fields are simple words,
|
||
|
|
.I name
|
||
|
|
is the name of the terminal device with
|
||
|
|
.B /dev
|
||
|
|
stripped off, and
|
||
|
|
.I type
|
||
|
|
tells the type of terminal to initialize the
|
||
|
|
.B TERM
|
||
|
|
environment variable.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I getty
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I init
|
||
|
|
fields may name commands that are run to allow one to login on the line, or
|
||
|
|
to initialize the line. Both these fields may be more than one word if
|
||
|
|
the whole field is enclosed in double quotes.
|
||
|
|
.I Getty
|
||
|
|
is usually simply the word
|
||
|
|
.BR getty ,
|
||
|
|
the command that prints a system identification banner and allows on to type
|
||
|
|
a name to log in.
|
||
|
|
.I Init
|
||
|
|
is usually an
|
||
|
|
.B stty
|
||
|
|
command to set the baud rate and parity of a serial line.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I init
|
||
|
|
field may be omitted to indicate that no initialization is necessary, and the
|
||
|
|
.I getty
|
||
|
|
field may be left out to not start a login process. Terminals should not be
|
||
|
|
left out, because their place in the
|
||
|
|
.B ttytab
|
||
|
|
file determines their slot number as returned by
|
||
|
|
.BR ttyslot (3).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Comments (introduced by #) and empty lines are ignored.
