.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
tool allows to create, delete and switch between virtual terminals
|
|
on display devices controlled by the wscons terminal framework if
|
|
the underlying display hardware driver supports multiple screens.
|
|
Further it controls the assignment of keyboards to displays.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar index
|
|
argument specifies which virtual terminal is to be configured; the
|
|
allowed numbers are from 0 to an implementation-specified value
|
|
(currently 7, allowing for 8 virtual terminals on a display).
|
|
In keyboard configuration mode, it specifies the
|
|
.Xr wskbd 4
|
|
device to attach or detach.
|
|
Without further option arguments, a virtual terminal is created
|
|
with implementation specific properties and a default terminal
|
|
emulation variant selected at kernel compile time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Delete the specified terminal.
|
|
A terminal opened by a program will not be deleted unless the
|
|
.Fl F
|
|
option is applied.
|
|
Terminals used by the operating system console or a graphics program
|
|
(X server) cannot be deleted.
|
|
With the
|
|
.Fl k
|
|
flag, the keyboard specified by
|
|
.Ar index
|
|
will be detached from the wscons display.
|
|
With the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
flag, the multiplexor specified by
|
|
.Ar index
|
|
will be detached from the wscons display.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar emul
|
|
Specify the terminal emulation to use for the virtual terminal.
|
|
The set of available terminal emulations is determined at kernel
|
|
compile time.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr wscons 4
|
|
for details.
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
Force deleting of a terminal even if it is in use by a user space
|
|
program.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar ctldev
|
|
Specify the control device of the wscons display to operate on.
|
|
Default is
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyEcfg .
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
Do keyboard related operations instead of virtual screen configuration.
|
|
Without other flags, a keyboard will be attached to the display
|
|
device.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar index
|
|
argument can be omitted, in this case the first free keyboard will
|
|
be used.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Do multiplexor related operations instead of virtual screen
|
|
configuration.
|
|
Without other flags, a multiplexor will be attached to the display
|
|
device.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Switch to the specified virtual terminal.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar type
|
|
Specify a screen type to use.
|
|
Screen types refer to display format, colour depth and other
|
|
low-level display properties.
|
|
Valid
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
arguments are defined by the underlying display device driver.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Typically, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will be invoked in system startup by the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.d/wscons
|
|
script, controlled by the
|
|
.Pa /etc/wscons.conf
|
|
configuration file.

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.Dl wsconscfg -t 80x50 -e vt100 1
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Configure screen 1 (i.e., the second), it will get the type
|
|
.Ql 80x50
|
|
and use the VT100 terminal emulation.
|
|
(Note:
|
|
.Ql 80x50
|
|
is a screen type offered by the
|
|
.Xr vga 4
|
|
display driver.
|
|
In this particular case, an 8\(mu8-font must be loaded before to
|
|
make the screen useful.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr wsfontload 8 . )
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconscfg -k
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Connect the first unconnected keyboard to the display.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconscfg 3
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Create screen 3.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconscfg -d 3
|

.Sh BUGS
|
|
There should be an easy way to get a list of the screen types
|
|
available on a display, and of the emulations supported by the
|
|
kernel.
