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  ter-
     mio(7) and termios(2) processing.

     /dev/console
     /dev/contty
