ttytype - terminal device to default terminal type mapping
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.
