wsconscfg
WSCONSCFG(8) BSD System Manager's Manual WSCONSCFG(8)
NAME
wsconscfg -- configure and switch between virtual terminals on a wscons display
SYNOPSIS
wsconscfg [-e emul] [-f ctldev] [-t type] index
wsconscfg -d [-F] [-f ctldev] index
wsconscfg -g [-f ctldev]
wsconscfg -k | -m [-d] [-f ctldev] [index]
wsconscfg -s [-f ctldev] index
DESCRIPTION
The wsconscfg tool allows to create, delete and switch between virtual terminals on display devices controlled by the wscons terminal frame-
work if the underlying display hardware driver supports multiple screens. Further it controls the assignment of keyboards to displays. The
index argument specifies which virtual terminal is to be configured; the allowed numbers are from 0 to an implementation-specified value
(currently 7, allowing for 8 virtual terminals on a display). In keyboard configuration mode, it specifies the wskbd(4) device to attach or
detach. Without further option arguments, a virtual terminal is created with implementation specific properties and a default terminal emu-
lation variant selected at kernel compile time.
The options are:
-d Delete the specified terminal. A terminal opened by a program will not be deleted unless the -F option is applied. Terminals
used by the operating system console or a graphics program (X server) cannot be deleted. With the -k flag, the keyboard specified
by index will be detached from the wscons display. With the -m flag, the multiplexor specified by index will be detached from the
wscons display.
-e emul Specify the terminal emulation to use for the virtual terminal. The set of available terminal emulations is determined at kernel
compile time. See wscons(4) for details.
-F Force deleting of a terminal even if it is in use by a user space program.
-f ctldev Specify the control device of the wscons display to operate on. Default is /dev/ttyEcfg.
-g Print the index of the current virtual terminal.
-k Do keyboard related operations instead of virtual screen configuration. Without other flags, a keyboard will be attached to the
display device. The index argument can be omitted, in this case the first free keyboard will be used.
-m Do multiplexor related operations instead of virtual screen configuration. Without other flags, a multiplexor will be attached to
the display device.
-s Switch to the specified virtual terminal.
-t type Specify a screen type to use. Screen types refer to display format, colour depth and other low-level display properties. Valid
type arguments are defined by the underlying display device driver.
Typically, the wsconscfg utility will be invoked in system startup by the /etc/rc.d/wscons script, controlled by the /etc/wscons.conf config-
uration file.
FILES
/etc/wscons.conf
EXAMPLES
wsconscfg -t 80x50 -e vt100 1
Configure screen 1 (i.e., the second), it will get the type '80x50' and use the VT100 terminal emulation. (Note: '80x50' is a screen type
offered by the vga(4) display driver. In this particular case, an 8x8-font must be loaded before to make the screen useful. See
wsfontload(8).)
wsconscfg -k
Connect the first unconnected keyboard to the display.
wsconscfg 3
Create screen 3.
wsconscfg -d 3
Delete screen 3.
wsconscfg -s 2
Switch to screen 2.

BUGS
There should be an easy way to get a list of the screen types available on a display, and of the emulations supported by the kernel.
