TTYTYPE(5) UNIX Programmer's Manual TTYTYPE(5) 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. SEE ALSO tset(1), login(1) BUGS Some lines are merely known as "dialup" or "plugboard".
