ttytype(F)


ttytype -- set terminal types automatically at login

Format

type line

Description

The ttytype file (/etc/ttytype) will automatically set up a user's terminal type when they log in. The user's .login or .profile must contain the correct tset(C) command for this to work.

In a .profile:

   eval `tset -s`
In a .login:
   tset -s -Q > /tmp/tset$$; source /tmp/tset$$; /bin/rm /tmp/tset$$
Each line in ttytype specifies a terminal type for a particular terminal line.

You can use ``unknown'' as the terminal type if you want to put an entry in for a particular line, but you don't know its terminal type.
