NAME
     console - console interface

DESCRIPTION
     The console provides the operator interface to the system.	 The operating
     system and system utility programs display error messages on the system
     console.

     The console can be a serial terminal connected to the first serial port
     on the back panel of the workstation or it can be a logical terminal
     represented by a text window on the graphics monitor.

     The device special file /dev/console represents the system console.  When
     the console is a window on the graphics monitor, /dev/console will be the
     slave side of pseudo-tty (see pty(7)).

     When the console is a serial terminal, the file /dev/console will be the
     appropriate DUART device.

FILES
     /dev/console
