The init (VII) page mentions /etc/rc and refers to ttys (V) which says the file
consists of lines with three characters (enable, tty name, getty arg)

getty (VII) describes behaviors for 0, -, 1, 2

The one interesting bit in section (II) is lock (system call 62.) that
implements semaphores with subfunctions lock/unlock/tlock, all of
which take a non-negative semaphore ID called a flag.
