NAME
ttytype - terminal device to default terminal type mapping
DESCRIPTION
The
/etc/ttytype
file associates
termcap(5)
and
terminfo(5)
terminal type names
with tty lines.
Each line consists of a terminal type, followed 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 tim-sharing environment
featuring characte-cell terminals hardwired to a UNIX minicomputer.
It is little used on modern workstation and personal UNIX systems.
FILES
