TTYTYPE(5)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		    TTYTYPE(5)

NAME
       ttytype - terminal device to default terminal type mapping

DESCRIPTION
       The  /etc/ttytype  file associates termcap/terminfo 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 Unixes.

EXAMPLE
       A typical /etc/ttytype is:

	      con80x25 tty1
	      vt320 ttys0

FILES
       /etc/ttytype
	      the tty definitions file.

       getty(1), termcap(5), terminfo(5)
