\b0 clears your screen if this is possible. It looks in the environment for the terminal type and then in /etc/termcap to figure out how to clear the screen.
\b0 is usually invoked by init(8) to open and initialize the tty line, read a login name, and invoke login(1). getty attempts to adapt the system to the speed and type of terminal being used. The argument tty is the special device file in /dev to open for the terminal (e.g., ``ttyh0''). If there is no argument or the argument is ``-'', the tty line is assumed to be open as file descriptor 0. The type argument can be used to make getty treat the terminal line specially. This argument is used as an index into the gettytab(5) database, to determine the characteristics of the line. If there is no argument, or there is no such table, the default table is used. If there is no /etc/gettytab a set of system defaults is used. If indicated by the table located, getty will clear the terminal screen, print a banner heading, and prompt for a login name. Usually either the banner of the login prompt will include the system hostname. Then the user's name is read, a character at a time. If a null character is received, it is assumed to be the result of the user pushing the `break' (`interrupt') key. The speed is usually then changed and the `login:' is typed again; a second `break' changes the speed again and the `login:' is typed once more. Successive `break' characters cycle through the same standard set of speeds. The user's name is terminated by a new-line or carriagereturn character. The latter results in the system being set to treat carriage returns appropriately (see tty(4)). The user's name is scanned to see if it contains any lowercase alphabetic characters; if not, and if the name is nonempty, the system is told to map any future upper-case characters into the corresponding lower-case characters. Finally, login is called with the user's name as an argument. Most of the default actions of getty can be circumvented, or modified, by a suitable gettytab table. Getty 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.

\b0 requests a password from the user, reads it again for verification and then it will normally not relinquish the terminal until the password is repeated. There are three other conditions under it will terminate: it accepts the password for root as an alternative to the one given by the user, it will timeout after some interval of time, and it may be killed by somebody with the appropiate permission. The default time limit is 15 minutes but it may be changed with the -number option where number is the time limit in minutes.

\b0 resets up your terminal when you first log in to a UNIX system. It does terminal dependent processing such as setting erase and kill characters, setting or resetting delays, sending any sequences needed to properly initialized the terminal, and the like. It first determines the type of terminal involved, and then does necessary initializations and mode settings. The type of terminal attached to each UNIX port is specified in the /etc/ttys(5) database. Type names for terminals may be found in the termcap(5) database. If a port is not wired permanently to a specific terminal (not hardwired) it will be given an appropriate generic identifier such as dialup. In the case where no arguments are specified, tset simply reads the terminal type out of the environment variable TERM and re-initializes the terminal. The rest of this manual concerns itself with mode and environment initialization, typically done once at login, and options used at initialization time to determine the terminal type and set up terminal modes. When used in a startup script (.profile for sh(1) users or .login for csh(1) users) it is desirable to give information about the type of terminal you will usually use on ports which are not hardwired. These ports are identified in /etc/ttys as dialup or plugboard or arpanet, etc. To specify what terminal type you usually use on these ports, the -m (map) option flag is followed by the appropriate port type identifier, an optional baud rate specification, and the terminal type. (The effect is to ``map'' from some conditions to a terminal type, that is, to tell tset ``If I'm on this kind of port, guess that I'm on that kind of terminal''.) If more than one mapping is specified, the first applicable mapping prevails. A missing port type identifier matches all identifiers. Any of the alternate generic names given in termcap may be used for the identifier.

\b0 sets the tabs on a variety of terminals. Various terminal names given in term(7) are recognized; the default is, however, suitable for most 300 baud terminals. If the -n flag is present then the left margin is not indented as is normal.

\b0 sets up your terminal when you first log in to a UNIX system. It does terminal dependent processing such as setting erase and kill characters, setting or resetting delays, sending any sequences needed to properly initialized the terminal, and the like. It first determines the type of terminal involved, and then does necessary initializations and mode settings. The type of terminal attached to each UNIX port is specified in the /etc/ttys(5) database. Type names for terminals may be found in the termcap(5) database. If a port is not wired permanently to a specific terminal (not hardwired) it will be given an appropriate generic identifier such as dialup. In the case where no arguments are specified, tset simply reads the terminal type out of the environment variable TERM and re-initializes the terminal. The rest of this manual concerns itself with mode and environment initialization, typically done once at login, and options used at initialization time to determine the terminal type and set up terminal modes. When used in a startup script (.profile for sh(1) users or .login for csh(1) users) it is desirable to give information about the type of terminal you will usually use on ports which are not hardwired. These ports are identified in /etc/ttys as dialup or plugboard or arpanet, etc. To specify what terminal type you usually use on these ports, the -m (map) option flag is followed by the appropriate port type identifier, an optional baud rate specification, and the terminal type. (The effect is to ``map'' from some conditions to a terminal type, that is, to tell tset ``If I'm on this kind of port, guess that I'm on that kind of terminal''.) If more than one mapping is specified, the first applicable mapping prevails. A missing port type identifier matches all identifiers. Any of the alternate generic names given in termcap may be used for the identifier.
\b0 prints the pathname of the user's terminal unless the -s (silent) is given. In either case, the exit value is zero if the standard input is a terminal and one if it is not.
