console(7)                                                       console(7)

NAME
     console - STREAMS-based console interface

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

     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 discip-
     line module ldterm, supports the termio(7) and termios(3C) processing.
