#R:sri-arpa:-1448000:uiucuxc:29300001:000:580 uiucuxc!edwards Dec 12 21:01:00 1983 Try looking for these manual pages: INIT(8) - process control initialization GETTY(8) - set terminal modes TTYS(5) - terminal initialization data These manual pages may not be in the same place but, They should explain the way the system uses the /etc/ttys file. Some of the newer non-source UN*X systems that are comming out have very good explainations in ttys(5) and should explain what some of the characters mean.
