console(7)                       UNIX System V                       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
