NAME
ttysrch - Lists absolute path names for tty name searches
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ttysrch
DESCRIPTION
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 com-
mands (for example, rusers) a three-character name is recommended. A
number, which is the name of the tty special file. The ttyname(3) sys-
tem call assumes the number matches the minor number of the dev_t asso-
ciated with the tty special file.
Comments lines are delineated by a # in column 1.
