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.
