NAME
     wscons -- machine-independent console support

DESCRIPTION
     The wscons driver provides a machine-independent framework for workstation consoles.  It consists of several cooperating modules:

     o	 display adapters (see wsdisplay(9))

     o	 keyboards (see wskbd(9))

     o	 pointers and mice (see wsmouse(9))

     o	 input event multiplexor

     o	 font handling (see wsfont(9))

     o	 terminal emulation (see wsdisplay(9))

     The wscons framework replaces the old rcons workstation framework and the various machine-dependent console implementations.

CODE REFERENCES
     The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory sys/dev/wscons.
