NAME
       ttysrch - Lists absolute path names for tty name searches

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/ttysrch

DESCRIPTION
       The  ttysrch file contains a list of absolute path names.  This list is
       used by the ttyname(3) system call to resolve tty names	that  are  not
       contained in the /dev directory.

       Each entry in the ttysrch file has the following format: /dev/xxx/N

       where:  A  directory  name.  Due to display constraints of certain com‐
       mands (for example, rusers) a three-character name is  recommended.   A
       number, which is the name of the tty special file.  The ttyname(3) sys‐
       tem call assumes the number matches the minor number of the dev_t asso‐
       ciated with the tty special file.

       Comments lines are delineated by a # in column 1.
