NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     console - console interface

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The console provides the operator interface to the	system.	 The operating
     system and	system utility programs	display	error messages on the system
     console.

     The console can be	a serial terminal connected to the first serial	port
     on	the back panel of the workstation or it	can be a logical terminal
     represented by a text window on the graphics monitor.

     The device	special	file /dev/console represents the system	console.  When
     the console is a window on	the graphics monitor, /dev/console will	be the
     slave side	of pseudo-tty (see pty(7)).

     When the console is a serial terminal, the	file /dev/console will be the
     appropriate DUART device.
