6 Allows you to remove TTY support which can save space, and
7 blocks features that require TTY from inclusion in the kernel.
8 TTY is required for any text terminals or serial port
9 communication. Most users should leave this enabled.

18 If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
19 display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
20 can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
21 one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
22 virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
23 one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
24 an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
25 is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
26
27 The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
28 properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
29 man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
30 character sequences that can be used to change those properties
31 directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
32 the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
33 with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
34
35 You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
36 of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
37 embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
38 memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
39 or network connection.

57 The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
58 and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
59 answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
60 a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
61 common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
62 the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
63 you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
64
65 If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
66 terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
67 that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
68 would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
69 bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
70 loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

87 The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
88 terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
89 console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
90 drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
91 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
92 select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
93 virtual terminals.

a7f7f624 102 help
bdcffc5a
GKH
103 A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
104 halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
105 a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
106 read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
107 terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
108 and xterms.
109
110 Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
111 masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
112 has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
113 however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
114 pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
115 terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
116 terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
117 traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
118
119 All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless
120 you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.

152config LDISC_AUTOLOAD
153 bool "Automatically load TTY Line Disciplines"

155 help
156 Historically the kernel has always automatically loaded any
157 line discipline that is in a kernel module when a user asks
158 for it to be loaded with the TIOCSETD ioctl, or through other
159 means. This is not always the best thing to do on systems
160 where you know you will not be using some of the more
161 "ancient" line disciplines, so prevent the kernel from doing
162 this unless the request is coming from a process with the
163 CAP_SYS_MODULE permissions.
164
165 Say 'Y' here if you trust your userspace users to do the right
166 thing, or if you have only provided the line disciplines that
167 you know you will be using, or if you wish to continue to use
168 the traditional method of on-demand loading of these modules
169 by any user.

172 dev.tty.ldisc_autoload sysctl, this configuration option will
