System Administration Commands                       sttydefs(1M)



NAME
     sttydefs - maintain line settings and hunt sequences for TTY
     ports

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/sttydefs -a ttylabel [-b] [-f final-flags]
          [-i initial-flags] [-n nextlabel]


     /usr/sbin/sttydefs -l [ttylabel]


     /usr/sbin/sttydefs -r ttylabel


DESCRIPTION
     sttydefs is an administrative  command  that  maintains  the
     line  settings and hunt sequences for the system's TTY ports
     by  making  entries  in,  and  deleting  entries  from   the
     /etc/ttydefs file.


     sttydefs with a -a or -r option may be invoked only  by  the
     super-user.  sttydefs  with -l may be invoked by any user on
     the  system.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -a ttylabel         Add a record to the ttydefs file,  using
                         ttylabel  as  its  label.  The following
                         describes the effect of the -b, -n,  -i,
                         or  -f  options when used in conjunction
                         with the -a option:


     -b                  Enable  autobaud.  Autobaud  allows  the
                         system  to set the line speed of a given
                         TTY port to the line speed of the device
                         connected to the port without the user's
                         intervention.


     -f final-flags      Specify the value  to  be  used  in  the
                         final-flags   field   in   /etc/ttydefs.
                         final-flags must be in a  format  recog-
                         nized  by  the stty command. final-flags
                         are  the  termio(7I)  settings  used  by
                         ttymon after receiving a successful con-
                         nection request and  immediately  before
                         invoking  the  service  on  the port. If
                         this option is not  specified,  sttydefs

System Administration Commands                       sttydefs(1M)



                         will   set   final-flags  equal  to  the
                         termio(7I) flags 9600 and sane.


     -i initial-flags    Specify the value  to  be  used  in  the
                         initial-flags  field  in   /etc/ttydefs.
                         initial-flags must be in a format recog-
                         nized  by  the stty command. These flags
                         are used by ttymon  when  searching  for
                         the   correct  baud  rate.  They are set
                         prior to writing  the  prompt.  If  this
                         option  is  not specified, sttydefs will
                         set   initial-flags   equal    to    the
                         termio(7I) flag 9600.


     -n nextlabel        Specify the value  to  be  used  in  the
                         nextlabel field in /etc/ttydefs. If this
                         option is not specified,  sttydefs  will
                         set nextlabel equal to ttylabel.


     -l[ttylabel]        If a  ttylabel  is  specified,  sttydefs
                         displays  the  record  from /etc/ttydefs
                         whose TTY label  matches  the  specified
                         ttylabel.  If  no ttylabel is specified,
                         sttydefs displays the entire contents of
                         /etc/ttydefs.   sttydefs  verifies  that
                         each entry it displays  is  correct  and
                         that  the entry's nextlabel field refer-
                         ences an existing


     -r ttylabel         Remove any record in  the  ttydefs  file
                         that has ttylabel as its label.


OUTPUT
     If successful, sttydefs  will  exit  with  a  status  of  0.
     sttydefs -l will generate the requested information and send
     it to standard output.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1 A sample of sttydefs command.


     The following command lists all the entries in  the  ttydefs
     file and prints an error message for each invalid entry that
     is detected.


       example# sttydefs -l

System Administration Commands                       sttydefs(1M)



     The following shows a command that requests information  for
     a single label and its output:


       example# sttydefs -l 9600
       ------------------------------------------------------------------
       9600:9600 hupcl erase ^h:9600 sane ixany tab3 hupcl erase ^h::4800
       ------------------------------------------------------------------
       ttylabel: 9600
       initial flags: 9600 hupcl erase ^h
       final flags:   9600 sane ixany tab3 hupcl erase ^h
       autobaud: no
       nextlabel:      4800




     The following sequence of commands will add the labels 1200,
     2400, 4800, and 9600 and put them in a circular list:


       sttydefs -a 1200 -n 2400 -i 1200 -f "1200 sane"
       sttydefs -a 2400 -n 4800 -i 2400 -f "2400 sane"
       sttydefs -a 4800 -n 9600 -i 4800 -f "4800 sane"
       sttydefs -a 9600 -n 1200 -i 9600 -f "9600 sane"
