GETTY(8)GETTY(8)NAMEgetty - system login banner
SYNOPSISgetty [banner ...]
DESCRIPTION
Getty displays a system identification banner, reads a user name from
standard input and executes login with that name as argument.
Getty uses its arguments separated by spaces as a login banner. The
character sequences \n, \s and \t are printed as newline, space and
tab. Any other \x prints that x. The character sequences %s, %n, etc.
produce the same output as uname -s, uname -n, etc. The default banner
is
%s\s\sRelease\s%r\sVersion\s%v\n\n%n\slogin:\s
