# 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

# SEE ALSO

# HISTORY

The ttyflags utility appeared in NetBSD 1.0.

# 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.
