NAME

6       zcons - Zone console device driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  zcons  character  driver exports the console for system zones. The
10       driver is comprised of two "sides:" a master side with  which  applica‐
11       tions  in the global zone communicate, and a slave side, which receives
12       I/O from the master side. The slave side is  available  in  the  global
13       zones.
14
15
16       Applications  must  not  depend  on  the  location  of /dev or /devices
17       entries exported by zcons. Inside a zone,  the  zcons  slave   side  is
18       fronted  by  /dev/console  and  other  console-related  symbolic links,
19       which are used by applications that expect to write to the system  con‐
20       sole.

23       The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may change in future releases.
