.TH TTYTYPE 5 2012-12-31 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ttytype \- terminal device to default terminal type mapping
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.I /etc/ttytype
|
|
file associates
|
|
.BR termcap (5)/ terminfo (5)
|
|
terminal type names
|
|
with tty lines.
|
|
Each line consists of a terminal type, followed by
|
|
whitespace, followed by a tty name (a device name without the
|
|
.IR /dev/ ") prefix."
|
|
|
|
This association is used by the program
|
|
.BR tset (1)
|
|
to set the environment variable
|
|
.B TERM
|
|
to the default terminal name for
|
|
the user's current tty.
|
|
|
|
This facility was designed for a traditional time-sharing environment
|
|
featuring character-cell terminals hardwired to a UNIX minicomputer.
|
|
It is little used on modern workstation and personal UNIX systems.
|
|
