NAME
ttytype - data base of terminal types by port
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ttytype
DESCRIPTION
_T_t_y_t_y_p_e 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 _t_s_e_t(1) and by _l_o_g_i_n(1) to ini-
tialize the TERM variable at login time.
