+.SH NAME
+ttys \- terminal initialization data
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The file
+.F /etc/ttys
+directs
+.IR init (8)
+in associating login processes with terminal ports.
+It contains one line per port.
+.PP
+If the first character of a line is
+.L 0
+the line will be ignored;
+if it is
+.L 1
+the line will be effective.
+The second character is used as an argument to
+.IR getty (8),
+which performs such tasks as baud-rate recognition,
+reading the login name,
+and calling
+.IR login (8).
+For normal lines,
+the character is
+.LR 0 .
+Other characters can be used, for example, with hard-wired terminals
+where speed recognition is unnecessary
+or which have special characteristics; see
+.IR getty (8)
+for a list.
+The remainder of the line is the terminal's entry
+in the device directory,
+.FR /dev .
