24 # This file is used by ttyname(3C) to minimize search time
25 # during attempts to determine the name of a terminal device.
27 # This is done by providing the names of directories which
28 # are most likely to contain device entries for terminal
29 # devices. These directories will be searched in the order
30 # listed prior to an exhaustive search of the rest of /dev.
32 # Each line contains the name of a directory (which must
33 # begin with "/dev") and (optionally) a set of flags which
34 # modify the criteria used to determine a match. By default,
35 # an exact match requires that the major/minor device number
36 # (the M flag), the file system identifier (the F flag), and
37 # the inode number (the I flag) all match. Normally, a partial
38 # match on the major/minor device and the file system identifier
39 # is accepted only after exhausting all entries under /dev.
40 # By specifying only the M and F flags, an exact match will
41 # be accepted regardless of the value of the inode number as
42 # soon as it is found. This is especially useful for cloned
43 # devices, which generally will not match inode numbers.
45 # For additional information see ttysrch(4).
51 # This would improve performance for Starlan network connections
52 # if all Starlan network clone device entries were contained
53 # in the /dev/slan directory.
