.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
tool allows to create and delete 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 8
|
|
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 f Ar ctldev
|
|
Specify the control device of the wscons display to operate on.
|
|
Default is
|
|
.Pa /dev/ttyEcfg .
|
|
.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
|
|
.Dq index
|
|
(or the currently connected one, if none is given) will be detached from
|
|
the wscons display.
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
Force deleting of a terminal even if it is in use by a user space program.
|
|
.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
|
|
.Dq index
|
|
argument can be omitted, in this case the first free keyboard will be used.
|
|
.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.
|
|
.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.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Typically, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will be invoked in system startup by the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.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
|
|
.Dq 80x50
|
|
and use the VT100 terminal emulation. (Note:
|
|
.Dq 80x50
|
|
is a screen type offered by the
|
|
.Xr vga 4
|
|
display driver. In this particular case, an 8x8-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.
|
|
.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.
