/dev/ttyb missing from UBUNTU

HI All
I am doing first steps in debugging with GDB.
I have been suggested to redirect output to another terminal using the command using
Code:
tty /dev/ttyb


I had a look at my ubuntu doing
Code:
 ls /dev/tty*

and I cannot find this
Code:
ttyb

.

What is it and how to achieve the same thing?

I am totally newbie so right now I doing some reading to understand how terminal works and what this command does. Do you have any suggestion or tip to follow that might help my research / improve my learning?

Regards
Mnstn

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
