.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Xr dm.conf
file
is the configuration file for the
-.Xr \&dm 8
+.Xr dm 8
program.
-It consists of lines beginning with one of three keywords, ``badtty'',
-``game'', and ``time''. All other lines are ignored.
+It consists of lines beginning with one of three keywords,
+.Em badtty ,
+.Em game ,
+and
+.Em time .
+All other lines are ignored.
.Pp
-Any tty listed after the keyword ``badtty'' may not have games played on
-it.
+Any tty listed after the keyword
+.Em badtty
+may not have games played on it.
Entries consist of two white-space separated fields: the string
-``badtty'' and the ttyname as returned by
+.Em badtty
+and the ttyname as returned by
.Xr ttyname 3 .
For example,
-to keep the uucp dialout, ``tty19'', from being used for games, the
-entry would be:
+to keep the uucp dialout,
+.Dq tty19 ,
+from being used for games, the entry would be:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
badtty /dev/tty19
.Ed
.Pp
-Any day/hour combination listed after the keyword ``time'' will disallow
-games during those hours. Entries consist of four white-space separated
-fields: the string ``time'', the unabbreviated day of the week and the
-beginning and ending time of a period of the day when games may not be
-played. The time fields are in a 0 based, 24-hour clock. For example,
-the following entry allows games playing before 8AM and after 5PM on
-Mondays.

-Any game listed after the keyword ``game'' will set parameters for a specific
-game. Entries consist of five white-space separated fields: the keyword
-``game'', the name of a game, the highest system load average at which the
-game may be played, the maximum users allowed if the game is to be played,
-and the priority at which the game is to be run. Any of these fields may
-start with a non-numeric character, resulting in no game limitation or
-priority based on that field. The game "default" controls the settings for
-any game not otherwise listed, and must be the last ``game'' entry in the
-file. Priorities may not be negative. For example, the following entries
-limits the game ``hack'' to running only when the system has 10 or less
