NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     wscons - machine-independent console support

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

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

     +o    display adapters (see wsdisplay(9))

     +o    keyboards (see wskbd(9))

     +o    pointers and mice (see wsmouse(9))

     +o    input event multiplexor

     +o    font handling (see wsfont(9))

     +o    terminal emulation (see wsdisplay(9))

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