TTYS(5) TTYS(5) NAME ttys - terminal initialization data DESCRIPTION The file directs init(8) in associating login processes with terminal ports. It contains one line per port. If the first character of a line is `0' the line will be ignored; if it is `1' the line will be effective. The sec- ond character is used as an argument to getty(8), which per- forms such tasks as baud-rate recognition, reading the login name, and calling login(8). For normal lines, the character is `0'. Other characters can be used, for example, with hard-wired terminals where speed recognition is unnecessary or which have special characteristics; see getty(8) for a list. The remainder of the line is the terminal's entry in the device directory, FILES SEE ALSO init(8), getty(8), login(8)
