WSCONS(9) Kernel Developer's Manual WSCONS(9)
NAME
wsconsmachine-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
This section describes places within the NetBSD source tree where actual code implementing or using the machine-independent wscons subsystem can be found. All pathnames are relative to /usr/src.
