The ttyslot() function was originally part for SUSv1, marked LEGACY in SUSv2 and removed later on. This function only makes sense when using utmp(5), because it was used to determine the offset of the record for the controlling TTY. It makes little sense to keep it here, because the new utmpx file format doesn't index based on TTY slots.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ttys
|
|
.Nd terminal initialization information
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file
|
|
.Nm
|
|
contains information that is used by various routines to initialize
|
|
and control the use of terminal special files.
|
|
This information is read with the
|
|
.Xr getttyent 3
|
|
library routines.
|
|
There is one line in the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file per special device file.
|
|
Fields are separated by tabs and/or spaces.
|
|
Fields comprised of more than one word should be enclosed in double
|
|
quotes (``"'').
|
|
Blank lines and comments may appear anywhere in the file; comments
|
|
are delimited by hash marks (``#'') and new lines.
|
|
Any unspecified fields will default to null.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first field is normally the
|
|
name of the terminal special file as it is found in
|
|
.Pa /dev .
|
|
However, it can be any arbitrary string
|
|
when the associated command is not related to a tty.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The second field of the file is the command to execute for the line,
|
|
usually
|
|
.Xr getty 8 ,
|
|
which initializes and opens the line, setting the speed, waiting for
|
|
a user name and executing the
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
program.
|
|
It can be, however, any desired command, for example
|
|
the start up for a window system terminal emulator or some other
|
|
daemon process, and can contain multiple words if quoted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The third field is the type of terminal usually connected to that
|
|
tty line, normally the one found in the
|
|
.Xr termcap 5
|
|
data base file.
|
|
The environment variable
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
is initialized with the value by
|
|
either
|
|
.Xr getty 8
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr login 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The remaining fields set flags in the
|
|
.Fa ty_status
|
|
entry (see
|
|
.Xr getttyent 3 ) ,
|
|
specify a window system process that
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
will maintain for the terminal line, optionally determine the
|
|
type of tty (whether dialin, network or otherwise),
|
|
or specify a tty group
|
|
name that allows the login class database (see
|
|
.Xr login.conf 5 )
|
|
to refer to many ttys as a group, to selectively allow or
|
|
deny access or enable or disable accounting facilities for
|
|
ttys as a group.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As flag values, the strings ``on'' and ``off'' specify that
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
should (should not) execute the command given in the second field,
|
|
while ``secure'' (if ``on'' is also specified) allows users with a
|
|
uid of 0 to login on
|
|
this line.
|
|
The flag ``dialin'' indicates that a tty entry describes a dialin
|
|
line, and ``network'' indicates that a tty entry provides a
|
|
network connection.
|
|
Either of these strings may also be specified in the terminal type
|
|
field.
|
|
The string ``window='' may be followed by a quoted command
|
|
string which
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
will execute
|
|
.Em before
|
|
starting the command specified by the second field.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The string ``group='' may be followed by a group name comprised of
|
|
alphanumeric characters that can be used by
|
|
.Xr login.conf 5
|
|
to refer to many tty lines as a group to enable or disable access
|
|
and accounting facilities.
|
|
If no group is specified, then the tty becomes a member of the group
|
|
"none".
|
|
For backwards compatibility, the ``group='' should appear last on the
|
|
line, immediately before the optional comment.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Both the second field and any command specified with ``window=''
|
|
will be split into words and executed using
|
|
.Xr execve 2 .
|
|
Words are separated by any combinations of tabs and spaces.
|
|
Arguments containing whitespace should be enclosed in single quotes
|
|
.Pq Li ' .
|
|
Note that no shell-style globbing or other variable substitution occurs.
