WSCONS(9)

NAME
wscons - machine-independent console support

DESCRIPTION
The wscons driver provides a machine-independent framework for workstation consoles. It consists of several cooperating modules:

•   display adapters (see wsdisplay(9))

•   keyboards (see wskbd(9))

•   pointers and mice (see wsmouse(9))

•   input event multiplexor

•   font handling (see wsfont(9))

•   terminal emulation (see wsdisplay(9))

The wscons framework replaces the old rcons workstation framework and the various machine-dependent console implementations.

CODE REFERENCES
The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory sys/dev/wscons.
