okay so this is TTYLINKD.CONF(5), from the Linux Programmer's Manual, and it's literally the config page for ttylinkd.conf — I'm obsessed. it's short, it's iconic, let's go. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

ttylinkd.conf — the configuration file for ttylinkd. periodt. ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ttylinkd.conf lets the super user determine certain parameters with ttylinkd(8). right now there is literally only one field, and the whole plan is not to extend this further — ttylinkd is about as resourceful as it's going to get, no cap. 💅

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

  • # — any line beginning with the hash (#) symbol is a comment and will be ignored. so cute, so skipped. 🙈
  • sysop=<user>[@hostname.domain.name] — when ttylinkd(8) is launched, it will attempt to contact the login <user>. if you don't supply a hostname, then the local host will be assumed. yep, that's the whole vibe check. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • ttylinkd(8) — the main character of this story, fr fr.
