.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Access to the
|
|
.Ar virtual consoles
|
|
are obtained through the device files
|
|
ttyv0 - ttyvb in /dev.
|
|
Each of these files correspond to a seperate
|
|
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
|
|
.Ar /dev/console
|
|
(the original console device) is echoed to /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.man)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The number of virtual consoles is changeable in the system config
|
|
file, and need recompilation of the kernel to take any effect. The
|
|
default is 12.
|
|
|
|
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 understands a subset of the ANSI x3.64 character
|
|
sequences. For compatibility with the old pccons, the PC3 character
|
|
sequences is also supported.
