  42 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  43 The
  44 .Nm
  45 file is the configuration file for the
  46 .Xr dm 8
  47 program.
  48 It consists of lines beginning with one of three keywords,
  49 .Em badtty ,
  50 .Em game ,
  51 and
  52 .Em time .
  53 All other lines are ignored.
  54 .Pp
  55 Any tty listed after the keyword
  56 .Em badtty
  57 may not have games played on it.
  58 Entries consist of two white-space separated fields: the string
  59 .Em badtty
  60 and the ttyname as returned by
  61 .Xr ttyname 3 .
  62 For example,
  63 to keep the uucp dialout,
  64 .Dq tty19 ,
  65 from being used for games, the entry would be:
  66 .Bd -literal -offset indent
  67 badtty  /dev/tty19
  68 .Ed
  69 .Pp
  70 Any day/hour combination listed after the keyword
  71 .Em time
  72 will disallow games during those hours.
  73 Entries consist of four white-space separated fields: the string
  74 .Em time ,
  75 the unabbreviated day of the week and the beginning and ending time
  76 of a period of the day when games may not be played.
  77 The time fields are in a 0 based, 24-hour clock.
  78 For example, the following entry allows games playing before 8AM
  79 and after 5PM on Mondays:
  80 .Bd -literal -offset indent
  81 time    Monday  8       17
  82 .Ed
  83 .Pp
  84 Any game listed after the keyword
  85 .Em game
  86 will set parameters for a specific game.
  87 Entries consist of five white-space separated fields: the keyword
  88 .Em game ,
  89 the name of a game, the highest system load average at which the
  90 game may be played, the maximum users allowed if the game is to be
  91 played, and the priority at which the game is to be run.
  92 Any of these fields may start with a non-numeric character, resulting
  93 in no game limitation or priority based on that field.
  94 .Pp
  95 The game
  96 .Em default
  97 controls the settings for
  98 any game not otherwise listed, and must be the last
  99 .Em game
 100 entry in the file.
 101 Priorities may not be negative.
 102 For example, the following entries
 103 limits the game
 104 .Dq hack
 105 to running only when the system has 10 or less
 106 users and a load average of 5 or less; all other games may be run any time
 107 the system has 15 or less users.
