-.Sh NAME
-.Nm getty
-.Nd set terminal mode
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm getty
-.Oo
-.Ar type
-.Op Ar tty
-.Oc
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm getty
-program
-is called by
-.Xr init 8
-to open and initialize the tty line, read a login name, and invoke
-.Xr login 1 .
-.Pp
-The argument
-.Ar tty
-is the special device file in
-.Pa /dev
-to open for the terminal (for example, ``ttyh0'').
-If there is no argument or the argument is
-.Ql Fl ,
-the tty line is assumed to be open as file descriptor 0.
-.Pp
-The
-.Ar type
-argument can be used to make
-.Nm getty
-treat the terminal line specially.
-This argument is used as an index into the
-.Nm gettytab 5
-database, to determine the characteristics of the line.
-If there is no argument, or there is no such table, the
-.Em default
-table is used.
-If there is no
-.Pa /etc/gettytab
-a set of system defaults is used.
-If indicated by the table located,
-.Nm getty
-will clear the terminal screen,
-print a banner heading,
-and prompt for a login name.
-Usually either the banner or the login prompt will include
-the system hostname.
-.Pp
-Most of the default actions of
-.Nm getty
-can be circumvented, or modified, by a suitable
-.Nm gettytab
-table.
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm getty
-program
-can be set to timeout after some interval,
-which will cause dial up lines to hang up
-if the login name is not entered reasonably quickly.
-.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
-.Bl -diag
-.It "ttyxx: No such device or address."
-.It "ttyxx: No such file or address."
-A terminal which is turned
-on in the
-.Xr ttys
-file cannot be opened, likely because the requisite
-lines are either not configured into the system, the associated device
-was not attached during boot-time system configuration,
-or the special file in
-.Pa /dev
-does not exist.
