NAME

     rcons -- raster console access

SYNOPSIS

     options RASTERCONSOLE_FGCOL=n
     options RASTERCONSOLE_BGCOL=n
     options RCONS_2BPP
     options RCONS_4BPP
     options RCONS_16BPP

   pmax
     pseudo-device rasterconsole N

DESCRIPTION

     The rcons driver provides support for machine-independent access to the raster console.  Use of the rcons driver is deprecated in favour of
     the wscons(4) machine-independent console driver.

     The rcons driver provides simple raster and frame buffer routines.  It's enough to implement a console terminal emulator on monochrome and
     pseudo-colour screens.

NAME

       cvc - virtual console driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  cvc  virtual  console  driver  is a STREAMS-based pseudo driver that supports the network console. The cvc driver interfaces with con-
       sole(7D).

       Logically, the  cvc driver sits below the  console driver. It redirects console output to the cvcredir(7D) driver if a network console con-
       nection is active. If a network console connection is not active, it redirects console output to an internal hardware interface.

       The cvc driver receives console input from  cvcredir and internal hardware and passes it to the process associated with /dev/console.

NOTES

       The   cvc facility supersedes the SunOS wscons(7D) facility, which should  not be used in conjunction with  cvc. The  wscons driver is use-
       ful for systems with directly attached consoles (frame buffers and keyboards), but is not useful with platforms using cvc,  which  have  no
       local keyboard or frame buffer.
