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,  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  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
