tty

Could someone please remind me how the relation between

/dev/tty  and /dev/tty01  etc works

i.e.  If I do:

   echo "Hello" > /dev/tty

it comes out on /dev/tty01 etc

On doing an ls I see no obvious links and besides
everyones /dev/tty points somewhere different.

If you could shed some light on this matter I would be very
grateful.


  Andy
