NAME
       ttysrch - Lists absolute path names for tty name searches

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/ttysrch

DESCRIPTION
       The ttysrch file contains a list of absolute path names.  This list is used by the ttyname(3) system call to resolve tty names that are not
       contained in the /dev directory.

       Each entry in the ttysrch file has the following format: /dev/xxx/N

       where: A directory name.  Due to display constraints of certain commands (for example, rusers) a three-character name  is  recommended.	 A
       number,	which  is  the	name of the tty special file.  The ttyname(3) system call assumes the number matches the minor number of the dev_t
       associated with the tty special file.

       Comments lines are delineated by a # in column 1.
