FbTerm 1.1 (Default branch)
FbTerm is a fast terminal emulator for Linux that uses the frame buffer. It is mostly as fast as the Linux kernel's terminal when accelerated scrolling is enabled on the frame buffer device. It allows you to select fonts with fontconfig, auto-detect and convert text encoding with support for double width scripts like Chinese and Japanese etc, dynamically create and destroy up to 10 windows, record scroll-back history for every window, and copy/paste selected text between windows with mouse the when the gpm server is running. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
This release adds configurable additional text encoding support and switches between them with hot keys. It adds an option in the configure file to let the user adjust the max scroll-back history lines of every window. It fixes a cursor drawing issue involving a shell command line containing double width characters. It fixes a spelling error in the source for older kernel support. It fixes a compile failure with kernel headers older than 2.6.24.Image

NAME

       console - STREAMS-based console interface

SYNOPSIS

       /dev/console

DESCRIPTION

       The  file  /dev/console refers to the system console device. /dev/console should be used for interactive purposes only. Use of /dev/console
       for logging purposes is discouraged; syslog(3C) or msglog(7D) should be used instead.

       The identity of this device depends on the EEPROM or NVRAM settings in effect at the most recent system	reboot;  by  default,  it  is  the
       ``workstation  console'' device consisting of the workstation keyboard and frame buffer acting in concert to emulate an ASCII terminal (see
       wscons(7D)).

       Regardless of the system configuration, the console device provides  asynchronous serial driver semantics so that, in conjunction with  the
       STREAMS line discipline module ldterm(7M), it supports the termio(7I) terminal interface.

SEE ALSO

       syslog(3C), termios(3C), ldterm(7M), termio(7I), msglog(7D), wscons(7D)

NOTES

       In  contrast  to  pre-SunOS 5.0 releases, it is no longer possible to redirect I/O intended for /dev/console to some other device. Instead,
       redirection now applies to the workstation console device using a revised programming interface (see wscons(7D)). Since the system  console
       is normally configured to be the work station console, the overall effect is largely unchanged from previous releases.

       See  wscons(7D)	for  detailed  descriptions  of  control  sequence  syntax, ANSI control functions, control character functions and escape
       sequence functions.
