.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Access to the
|
|
.Em virtual consoles
|
|
are obtained through the device files
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyv0
|
|
-
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyvb .
|
|
Each of these files correspond to a separate
|
|
virtual console.
|
|
All virtual console devices can be open at once, but only one is
|
|
active at a time.
|
|
The active virtual console "owns" the keyboard and
|
|
display screen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Output to a virtual console that not currently is on the display is
|
|
saved in a buffer that holds a "screenfull" (normally 25) lines.
|
|
Any output written to
|
|
.Pa /dev/console
|
|
(the original console device) is echoed to
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyv0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To switch between the virtual consoles one uses the sequence
|
|
.Em ALT+Fn ,
|
|
which means hold down ALT and press one of the function keys.
|
|
The
|
|
virtual console with the same number as the function key is then
|
|
selected as the current virtual console, and given exclusive use of
|
|
the keyboard and display.
|
|
This switch sequence can be changed via
|
|
the keyboard mapping ioctl call (see
|
|
.Xr keyboard 4 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The console allows entering values that are not physically
|
|
present on the keyboard via a special keysequence.
|
|
To use this facility press and hold down ALT,
|
|
then enter a decimal number from 0-255 via the numerical keypad, then
|
|
release ALT.
|
|
The entered value is then used as the ASCII value for one
|
|
character.
|
|
This way it is possible to enter any ASCII value.
|
|
The console driver also includes a history function.
|
|
It is activated by
|
|
pressing the scroll-lock key.
|
|
This holds the display, and enables the cursor
|
|
arrows for scrolling up and down through the last scrolled out lines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The console understands a subset of the ANSI x3.64 character
|
|
sequences.
|
|
For compatibility with the old pccons, the PC3 character
|
|
sequences are also supported.
