Re: /dev/tty*
- tty are terminals
- ttyS are serial ports
- ttyUSB are, to my knowledge, devices for communication via USB (e.g. USB to serial converters)
- never heard of ttyprintk, possibly syslog output via some port

Re: /dev/tty*
So they're all low level I/O interfaces, no ordinary files in the windows sense. Don't worry, you won't need them.

Re: /dev/tty*
thnx for reply...it would be even more beneficial for me if sum1 can refer an article describing these terminals and I/O interfaces

Here you go :

The discussion is small but it touches all the basics .
BTW , to access a tty terminal the command is Ctrl+Alt+F1 - use it if you ever get your system hung . You'll have to log into it though .
