NAME

wscons — machine-independent console support

DESCRIPTION

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

• display adapters (see wsdisplay(9))
• keyboards (see wskbd(9))
• pointers and mice (see wsmouse(9))
• input event multiplexor
• font handling (see wsfont(9))
• 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.
