NAME
ttytype - data base of terminal types by port
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Ttytype is a database containing, for each tty port on the system, the kind of terminal that is attached to it. There is one line per port, containing the terminal kind (as a name listed in termcap (5)), a space, and the name of the tty, minus /dev/.

This information is read by tset (1) and by login (1) to initialize the TERM variable at login time.
