NAME
       getty - system login banner

SYNOPSIS
       getty [banner ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Getty  displays	a system identification banner, reads a user name from
       standard input and executes login with that name as argument.

       Getty uses its arguments separated by spaces as a  login	 banner.   The
       character  sequences  \n,  \s  and \t are printed as newline, space and
       tab.  Any other \x prints that x.  The character sequences %s, %n, etc.
       produce the same output as uname -s, uname -n, etc.  The default banner
       is

	      %s\s\sRelease\s%r\sVersion\s%v\n\n%n\slogin:\s

SEE ALSO
