GETTYDEFS (5)
speed and tty settings used by getty
DESCRIPTION
The file
/etc/gettydefs
contains information used by
getty (1m)
to set up the speed and tty settings for a line. It supplies
information on what the
login-prompt
should look like. It also supplies the speed to try next if
the user indicates the current speed is not correct by typing a
<break>
character.
Each entry in
/etc/gettydefs
has the following :
+.2i
7.5i
label# initial-flags # final-flags # login-prompt #next-label
-.2i
Each entry is followed by a blank line. Lines that begin with
\#
are ignored and may be used to comment the file. The various
fields can contain quoted characters of the form
\\b, \\n, \\c, etc., as well as \\nnn,
where
nnn
is the octal value of the desired character. The various fields are:
label
This is the string against which
getty
tries to match its second argument. It is often the speed, such as
1200 ,
at which the terminal is supposed to run, but it needn't be (see below).
initial-flags
These flags are the initial
ioctl (2)
settings to which the terminal is to be set if a terminal type is
not specified to
getty .
Getty
understands the symbolic names specified in
/usr/include/termio.h
