October 7, 2006 TTYFLAGS 8

### NAME

ttyflags - set device-specific flags for terminals

### SYNOPSIS

ttyflags [-v] [-a | tty ...]

### DESCRIPTION

ttyflags sets the device-specific flags for terminals using ```TIOCSFLAGS`, 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`.

-v
  Be verbose about what the terminals' 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

```/etc/ttys`

### SEE ALSO

getttyent(3), tty(4), ttys(5)

### HISTORY

The ttyflags utility appeared in NetBSD1.0.

### 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.
