TTYTYPE(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							TTYTYPE(5)

NAME
ttytype - terminal device to default terminal type mapping DESCRIPTION
The /etc/ttytype file associates termcap(5)/terminfo(5) terminal type names with tty lines. Each line consists of a terminal type, fol- lowed by whitespace, followed by a tty name (a device name without the /dev/) prefix. This association is used by the program tset(1) to set the environment variable 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. FILES
/etc/ttytype the tty definitions file. EXAMPLE
A typical /etc/ttytype is: con80x25 tty1 vt320 ttys0 SEE ALSO
termcap(5), terminfo(5), agetty(8), mingetty(8) COLOPHON
This page is part of release 3.53 of the Linux man-pages project. A description of the project, and information about reporting bugs, can be found at http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/. Linux 2012-12-31 TTYTYPE(5)
