NAME
cvcredir - virtual console redirection driver
DESCRIPTION
The cvcredir virtual console redirection driver is a STREAMS-based pseudo driver that supports the network console provided on some plat-
forms. The cvcredir driver interfaces with the virtual console driver cvc(7D), and the virtual console daemon, cvcd(1M).
The cvcredir driver receives console output from cvc and passes it to cvcd. It receives console input from cvcd and passes it to cvc.
