NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       ttysrch - Lists absolute path names for tty name searches

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /etc/ttysrch

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  ttysrch  file contains a list of absolute path names.
       This list is used by the ttyname(3) system call to resolve
       tty names that are not contained in the /dev directory.

       Each  entry  in the ttysrch file has the following format:
       /dev/xxx/N

       where: A directory name.  Due to  display  constraints  of
       certain  commands  (for example, rusers) a three-character
       name is recommended.  A number, which is the name  of  the
       tty  special file.  The ttyname(3) system call assumes the
       number matches the minor number of  the  dev_t  associated
       with the tty special file.

       Comments lines are delineated by a # in column 1.
