.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Uugetty
is identical to getty(1m) but changes have been made to support
using the line for uucico, cu, and ct;
that is, the line can be used in both directions.
The uugetty will allow users to login, but if the line is free,
uucico, cu, or ct can use it for dialing out.
The implementation depends on the fact that uucico, cu, and ct
create lock files when devices are used.
When the "open()" returns
(or the first character is read when
.B \-r
option is used)
the status of the lock file indicates whether the line is being
used by uucico, cu, ct, or someone trying to login.
Note that in the
.B \-r
case, several <carriage-return> characters may be required before the
login message is output.
The human users will be able to handle this slight inconvenience.
Uucico trying to login will have to be told by using the following
login script:

	""  \\r\\d\\r\\d\\r\\d\\r in:--in: . . .
.sp
where the . . . is whatever would normally be used for the login sequence.

Here is a /etc/inittab entry using uugetty on an 801/212
dialer:

	30:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -t 60 cul04 1200

The line name, cul04 is the name that appears in the /usr/lib/uucp/Devices
file for the 212 dialer.

An entry for an intelligent modem or direct line that has a uugetty
on each end must use the
.B \-r
option.
(This causes uugetty to wait to read a character before it put out the
login message, thus preventing two uugettys from looping.)
Here is a /etc/inittab entry using uugetty on an intelligent modem or
direct line:

	30:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 tty12 1200
