NAME¶

vboxgetty.conf - config file for vboxgetty

Description¶

The file /etc/isdn/vboxgetty.conf is used to configure vboxgetty. Please read the man page vboxgetty(8) for a description of how vboxgetty works.

Everything after "#" is ignored, as are empty lines. All arguments must be separated by whitespace (spaces, tabs). Arguments may not contain whitespace.

All settings before the first port command are global settings, after a port command they only affect the current port.
