pt_cnt
Parameter
- Description
-
The number of available
/dev/pts
entries is dynamic up to a limit determined by the amount of physical memory available on the system.pt_cnt
is one of three variables that determines the minimum number of logins that the system can accommodate. The default maximum number of/dev/pts
devices the system can support is determined at boot time by computing the number of pseudo terminal structures that can fit in a percentage of system memory (seept_pctofmem
). Ifpt_cnt
is zero, the system allocates up to that maximum. Ifpt_cnt
is non-zero, the system allocates to the greater ofpt_cnt
and the default maximum. - Data Type
