| 14 | .sh DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | The system maintains a data base giving the type of each terminal and the | |
| 16 | home directory of the user logged in on that terminal. | |
| 17 | This information is initialized at login \- | |
| 18 | the terminal type from the | |
| 19 | .it ttytype | |
| 20 | data base, | |
| 21 | and the home directory from the user's entry in the password file. | |
| 22 | .it Ttytype | |
| 23 | can be used to interrogate and change the teletype type portion | |
| 24 | of this information. | |
| 25 | The most common use for | |
| 26 | .it ttytype | |
| 27 | is when using a dial-up port. | |
| 28 | .it Ttytype | |
| 29 | is necessary in this case because the system cannot know the type of | |
| 30 | terminal being used. | |
| 31 | .s3 | |
| 32 | The options of | |
| 33 | .it ttytype | |
| 34 | are: | |
| 35 | .s3 | |
| 36 | .lp +6 5 | |
| 37 | \fB\-d\fR Perform the action implied by the rest of the command | |
| 38 | only if the terminal in use is a dial-up port. | |
| 39 | .s3 | |
| 40 | .lp +6 5 | |
| 41 | \fB\-n\fR Print the type codes for terminals on this system. | |
| 42 | .s3 | |
| 43 | .i0 | |
| 44 | If | |
| 45 | .it ttytype | |
| 46 | is given no arguments, | |
| 47 | it prints the type recorded in the data base for this terminal. | |
| 48 | If given a | |
| 49 | .it type | |
| 50 | the type recorded in the data base will be changed to that type. | |
| 51 | Thus to tell the system that you dialed up on an | |
| 52 | \s-2LSI ADM-3A\s0 | |
| 53 | you could use the command | |
| 54 | .s3 | |
| 55 | .dt | |
| 56 | .bd " ttytype adm3a" | |
| 57 | .s3 | |
| 58 | If you frequently dial-up on a | |
| 59 | \s-2DECWRITER\-II\s0 | |
| 60 | you could put the command | |
| 61 | .s3 | |
| 62 | .dt | |
| 63 | .bd " ttytype \-d decwriter" | |
| 64 | .s3 | |
| 65 | in your | |
| 66 | .bd \&.start_up | |
| 67 | file. | |
| 68 | .s3 | |
| 69 | The more common types and abbreviations at UC Berkeley are: | |
| 70 | .s3 | |
| 71 | .ta .75i 1.5i 2.25i 3i 3.75i | |
