console(7)                                                       console(7)


   NAME
         console - STREAMS-based console interface

   DESCRIPTION
         The file /dev/console is the system console and refers to an
         asynchronous serial data line originating from the system board.

         The file /dev/contty refers to a second asynchronous serial data line
         originating from the system board.

         Both /dev/console and /dev/contty access the STREAMS-based console
         driver, which when used in conjunction with the STREAMS line
         discipline module ldterm, supports the termio(7) and termios(2)
         processing.

   FILES
         /dev/console
         /dev/contty

   SEE ALSO
         crash(1M), termios(2), ldterm(7), termio(7).
