      NAME
           ttytype - data base of terminal types by port

      SYNOPSIS
           /etc/ttytype

      DESCRIPTION
           Ttytype is a database containing the type of terminal that
           is attached to each tty port on the system.  There is one
           line per port.  Each line contains the terminal type, a
           space, and the name of the tty (without the /dev/ prefix).

           This information is read by login(1) to initialize the TERM
           variable at login time.

      EXAMPLE
           The following is an example ttytype file:

           vt100 tty0
           tvi950 tty2
           dialup tty3
           vt100 tty4
           vt100 tty5
           tvi950 tty7
           tvi950 tty8
           tvi950 tty9
           tvi950 tty11
