CTY /sit'ee/ or /C-T-Y/ [MIT] The terminal physically associated with a computer's system {console}. The term is a contraction of "Console {tty}", that is, "Console TeleTYpe". This {ITS}- and {TOPS-10}-associated term has become less common, as most Unix hackers simply refer to the CTY as "the console". [{Jargon File}] |
