ttytype - terminal device to default terminal type mapping
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<I>/etc/ttytype</I>
file associates
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+termcap">termcap</A></B>(5)/<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+terminfo">terminfo</A></B>(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
<I>/dev/</I>) prefix.
<P>
This association is used by the program
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+tset">tset</A></B>(1)
to set the environment variable
<B>TERM</B>
to the default terminal name for
the user's current tty.
<P>
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.
