NAME
     ttys - list of terminals handled by init

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/ttys

DESCRIPTION
     The ttys file contains a list of terminal names and associated flags.  It
     is a simple text file with lines of the form:

          afn

     Where a and f are single characters, and n is a single character  or  the
     name of a file in /dev.  More precisely:

     a    One of: 0 (line disabled = no login), 1 (enable = login possible), 2
          (enable,   login   possible  through  getty.)   There  is  not  much
          difference between keys 1 and 2, the getty program just  displays  a
          system login banner, reads a user name, and calls login.

     f    Defines the line parameters: baud rate, bits, and parity.   You  can
          use the following flags:

               f   baud   bits   parity

               0   -      -      -       console

               a   110    8      none
               b   300    8      none
               c   1200   8      none
               d   2400   8      none
               e   4800   8      none
               f   9600   8      none

               g   110    7      even
               h   300    7      even
               i   1200   7      even
               j   2400   7      even
               k   4800   7      even
               l   9600   7      even

               m   110    7      odd
               n   300    7      odd
               o   1200   7      odd
               p   2400   7      odd
               q   4800   7      odd
               r   9600   7      odd


     n    This is either a single digit for the terminal lines  /dev/ttyn,  or
          the  full  name  of  a  terminal  device if more than one character:
          /dev/n.
