Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getttyent ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getttynam
|
|
functions
|
|
each return a pointer to an object, with the following structure,
|
|
containing the broken-out fields of a line from the tty description
|
|
file.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct ttyent {
|
|
char *ty_name; /* terminal device name */
|
|
char *ty_getty; /* command to execute, usually getty */
|
|
char *ty_type; /* terminal type for termcap */
|
|
#define TTY_ON 0x01 /* enable logins (start ty_getty program) */
|
|
#define TTY_SECURE 0x02 /* allow uid of 0 to login */
|
|
#define TTY_DIALUP 0x04 /* is a dialup tty */

|
|
char *ty_group; /* tty group name */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fields are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ty_comment
|
|
.It Fa ty_name
|
|
The name of the character-special file.
|
|
.It Fa ty_getty
|
|
The name of the command invoked by
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
to initialize tty line characteristics.
|
|
.It Fa ty_type
|
|
The name of the default terminal type connected to this tty line.
|
|
.It Fa ty_status
|
|
A mask of bit fields which indicate various actions allowed on this
|
|
tty line.
|
|
The possible flags are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width TTY_NETWORK
|
|
.It Dv TTY_ON
|
|
Enables logins (i.e.,
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
will start the command referenced by
|
|
.Fa ty_getty
|
|
on this entry).
|
|
.It Dv TTY_SECURE
|
|
Allow users with a uid of 0 to login on this terminal.
|
|
.It Dv TTY_DIALUP
|
|
Identifies a tty as a dialin line.
|
|
If this flag is set, then
|
|
.Fn isdialuptty
|
|
will return a non-zero value.
|
|
.It Dv TTY_NETWORK
|
|
Identifies a tty used for network connections.
|
|
If this flag is set, then
|
|
.Fn isnettty
|
|
will return a non-zero value.

|
.It Fa ty_window
|
|
The command to execute for a window system associated with the line.
|
|
.It Fa ty_group
|
|
A group name to which the tty belongs.

If no group is specified in the ttys description file,
|
|
then the tty is placed in an anonymous group called "none".
|
|
.It Fa ty_comment
|
|
Any trailing comment field, with any leading hash marks (``#'') or
|
|
whitespace removed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If any of the fields pointing to character strings are unspecified,
|
|
they are returned as null pointers.
|
|
The field
|
|
.Fa ty_status
|
|
will be zero if no flag values are specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr ttys 5

The
|
|
.Fn getttyent
|

.Fn getttynam
|
|
function

searches from the beginning of the file until a matching
|
|

|
.Dv EOF
|
|
is encountered).
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The routines
|
|
.Fn getttyent
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getttynam
|
|
return a null pointer on
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
or error.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setttyent
|
|
function
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn endttyent
|
|
return 0 on failure and 1 on success.

|
.Pp
|
|
The routines
|
|
.Fn isdialuptty
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn isnettty

|
return non-zero if the dialup or network flag is set for the
|
|
tty entry relating to the tty named by the argument, and
|
|
zero otherwise.
