# usertty: Send messages to a user terminal

This driver writes messages to the terminal of a logged-in user.

The `usertty()` driver has a single required argument, specifying a username who should receive a copy of matching messages. Use the asterisk `*` to specify every user currently logged in to the system.

## Declaration:
```
       usertty(username);
    
```

The `usertty()` does not have any further options nor does it support templates.

## Example: Using the usertty() driver
```
       destination d_usertty { usertty("root"); };
    
```
