NAME
      ttydefs - file contains terminal line  settings  information
      for ttymon
 


DESCRIPTION
      /etc/ttydefs is an administrative file that contains records
      divided into fields by colons (":").   This information used
      by ttymon to set up the speed and terminal  settings  for  a
      TTY port.
 
      The ttydefs file contains the following fields:
 
      ttylabel
            The string ttymon  tries  to  match  against  the  TTY
            port's  ttylabel field in the port monitor administra-
            tive file. It often describes the speed at  which  the
            terminal is supposed to run, for example, 1200.
 
      initial-flags
            Contains the initial  termio(7I) settings to which the
            terminal  is  to  be  set.  For  example,  the  system
            administrator will be able to specify what the default
            erase  and kill characters will be. initial-flags must
            be specified in the syntax recognized by the stty com-
            mand.
 
      final-flags
            final-flags must be specified in the  same  format  as
            initial-flags.  ttymon sets these final settings after
            a connection request has  been  made  and  immediately
            prior to invoking a port's service.
 
      autobaud
            If the autobaud  field  contains  the  character  'A,'
            autobaud will  be enabled. Otherwise, autobaud will be
            disabled. ttymon determines what line speed to set the
            TTY port to by analyzing the carriage returns entered.
            If autobaud has been disabled, the  hunt  sequence  is
            used for baud rate determination.
 
      nextlabel
            If the user indicates that the current  terminal  set-
            ting  is  not  appropriate  by sending a BREAK, ttymon
            searchs for  a  ttydefs  entry  whose  ttylabel  field
            matches   the  nextlabel  field.  If a match is found,
            ttymon uses that field as its ttylabel field. A series
            of  speeds is often linked together in this way into a
            closed set called a hunt sequence. For  example,  4800
            may  be  linked  to  1200,  which in turn is linked to
            2400, which is finally linked to 4800.
