6 zcons - Zone console device driver
7
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.
