TTYFLAGS(8) | System Manager's Manual | TTYFLAGS(8)

# NAME

`ttyflags` — set device-specific flags for terminals

# SYNOPSIS

`ttyflags` | [`-pv`] [`-a` | tty ...]

# DESCRIPTION

`ttyflags` sets the device-specific flags for terminals, based on the flags found on the terminal's line in /etc/ttys.

The options are as follows:

`-a`
  Set the flags for all terminals in /etc/ttys.
`-p`
  Print out flag information about each terminal, instead of setting anything.
`-v`
  Be verbose about what the terminal's flags will be set to.

The tty arguments are optional, but must not be specified if the `-a` flag is used. If specified, the tty arguments should be the base names of the ttys, as found in /etc/ttys.

# FILES

# HISTORY

The `ttyflags` utility appeared in NetBSD 0.9A.

# BUGS

The conditions on which to report an error are ill-defined. `ttyflags` tries to report all significant errors, perhaps going over-board at times.
