13 | If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with | |
14 | display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you | |
15 | can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on | |
16 | one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one | |
17 | virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another | |
18 | one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run | |
19 | an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals | |
20 | is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>. | |
21 | ||
22 | The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the | |
23 | properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The | |
24 | man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special | |
25 | character sequences that can be used to change those properties | |
26 | directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with | |
27 | the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined | |
28 | with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command. | |
29 | ||
30 | You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use | |
31 | of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an | |
32 | embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some | |
33 | memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial | |
34 | or network connection. | |
35 | ||
36 | If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new | |
37 | shiny Linux system :-) | |

42 | default y | |
43 | ---help--- | |
44 | The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages | |
45 | and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you | |
46 | answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with | |
47 | a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most | |
48 | common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want | |
49 | the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case | |
50 | you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below). | |
51 | ||
52 | If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual | |
53 | terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change | |
54 | that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which | |
55 | would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man | |
56 | bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or | |
57 | loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.) | |

70 | ---help--- | |
71 | The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical | |
72 | terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one | |
73 | console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console | |
74 | drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than | |
75 | 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to | |
76 | select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the | |
77 | virtual terminals. | |

98 | This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades, | |
99 | Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many | |
100 | serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in | |
101 | connections. | |
102 | ||
103 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the | |
104 | kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all | |

436 | Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for | |
437 | masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme | |
438 | has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later, | |
439 | however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a | |
440 | pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo | |
441 | terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo | |
442 | terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was | |

452 | A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two | |
453 | halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to | |
454 | a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to | |
455 | read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a | |
456 | terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers | |
457 | and xterms. | |
