ttytype -- Command Select a default terminal type for a port ttytype The command ttytype selects a default terminal type for a given port. The default terminal types are recorded in file /etc/ttytype. You must edit this file to ensure that the default terminal types are described correctly. The following gives a example version of /etc/ttytype: ansipc console The COHERENT console adm3a com1l The old Kaypro II vt100 com2r Remote logins The first string gives the type of terminal. This string must name a terminal that is recognized by termcap and terminfo The second string gives the device with which this terminal type is linked. The console device should always be linked to terminal type ansipc. Other devices can be linked to the type of terminal most often used on them; on the above example, the user has a Kaypro II that is wired into his COHERENT system via a local serial port. ttytype ignores all strings after the first two in each line, so you can add comments to each entry, as in the above example. You can use ttytype to set a terminal type automatically at login time. To do so, edit the file /etc/profile and replace the line export TERM=ansipc with the command: export TERM=`/usr/bin/ttytype` Files /etc/ttytype -- File of default terminal types See Also commands, termcap, terminfo
