     24 #	This file is used by ttyname(3C) to minimize search time
     25 #	during attempts to determine the name of a terminal device.
     26 #
     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.
     31 #
     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.
     44 #
     45 #	For additional information see ttysrch(4).

     47 # EXAMPLE:
     48 #
     49 #	/dev/slan	MF
     50 #
     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.
