.Nd pc display interface
|
||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
||
Access to the
|
||
.Ar virtual consoles
|
||
are obtained through the device files
|
||
ttyv0 - ttyvb in
|
||
.Pa /dev .
|
||
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
|
||
.Ar 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 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.
|
||
|
||
The console understands a subset of the ANSI x3.64 character
|
||
sequences.
|
||
For compatibility with the old pccons, the PC3 character
|
||
sequences is also supported.
