|

.Nm

|
|
.Ar type
|
|
.Op Ar tty
|
|
.Oc
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is called by
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
to open and initialize the tty line, read a login name, and invoke
|
|
.Xr login 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar tty
|
|
is the special device file in
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
to open for the terminal (for example, ``ttyh0'').
|
|
If there is no argument or the argument is
|
|
.Sq Fl ,
|
|
the tty line is assumed to be open as file descriptor 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
argument can be used to make
|
|
.Nm
|
|
treat the terminal line specially.
|
|
This argument is used as an index into the
|
|
.Xr gettytab 5
|
|
database, to determine the characteristics of the line.
|
|
If there is no argument, or there is no such table, the
|
|
.Em default
|
|
table is used.
|
|
If there is no
|
|
.Pa /etc/gettytab
|
|
a set of system defaults is used.
|
|
If indicated by the table located,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will clear the terminal screen,
|
|
print a banner heading,
|
|
and prompt for a login name.
|
|
Usually either the banner or the login prompt will include
|
|
the system hostname.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Most of the default actions of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be circumvented, or modified, by a suitable
|
|
.Pa gettytab
|
|
table.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can be set to timeout after some interval,
|
|
which will cause dial up lines to hang up
|
|
if the login name is not entered reasonably quickly.

|
|
.Pp
|
|
A terminal which is turned
|
|
on in the
|
|
.Pa ttys
|
|
file cannot be opened, likely because the requisite
|
|
lines are either not configured into the system, the associated device
|
|
was not attached during boot-time system configuration,
|
|
or the special file in
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
does not exist.
