NAME

setscreen − control display screen access

SYNOPSIS

/etc/setscreen mode name
/etc/setscreen -f [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

Setscreen is useful in preventing inadvertent (or deliberate) manipulation of the screen contents on a given screen when using multiple display devices.  Setscreen takes an access mode and a device name from its command line and instructs the kernel to allow or prevent access to the display device indicated.  Alternatively, the modes and names can be in a file specified by a -f option.  If file is omitted, /etc/consoles is used. 

Values for mode and name are described in consoles(5).
