NAME

6       ttydefs - file contains terminal line settings information for ttymon
7

DESCRIPTION

9       /etc/ttydefs  is  an  administrative file that contains records divided
10       into fields by colons (":").   This information used by ttymon  to  set
11       up the speed and terminal settings for a TTY port.
12
13
14       The ttydefs file contains the following fields:
15
16       ttylabel         The  string  ttymon  tries  to  match  against the TTY
17                        port's ttylabel field in the port monitor  administra‐
18                        tive  file.  It often describes the speed at which the
19                        terminal is supposed to run, for example, 1200.
20
21
22       initial-flags    Contains the initial  termio(7I) settings to which the
23                        terminal  is to be set. For example, the system admin‐
24                        istrator will be able  to  specify  what  the  default
25                        erase  and kill characters will be. initial-flags must
26                        be specified in the syntax recognized by the stty com‐
27                        mand.
28
29
30       final-flags      final-flags  must  be  specified in the same format as
31                        initial-flags. ttymon sets these final settings  after
32                        a  connection  request  has  been made and immediately
33                        prior to invoking a port's service.
34
35
36       autobaud         If the autobaud  field  contains  the  character  'A,'
37                        autobaud will  be enabled. Otherwise, autobaud will be
38                        disabled. ttymon determines what line speed to set the
39                        TTY port to by analyzing the carriage returns entered.
40                        If autobaud has been disabled, the  hunt  sequence  is
41                        used for baud rate determination.
42
43
44       nextlabel        If  the  user indicates that the current terminal set‐
45                        ting is not appropriate by  sending  a  BREAK,  ttymon
46                        searchs  for  a  ttydefs  entry  whose  ttylabel field
47                        matches  the nextlabel field. If  a  match  is  found,
48                        ttymon uses that field as its ttylabel field. A series
49                        of speeds is often linked together in this way into  a
50                        closed  set  called a hunt sequence. For example, 4800
51                        may be linked to 1200, which  in  turn  is  linked  to
52                        2400, which is finally linked to 4800.
