NAME

     wscons -- machine-independent console support


DESCRIPTION

     The wscons driver provides a machine-independent framework for worksta-
     tion consoles.  It consists of several cooperating modules:

     ·   display adapters (see wsdisplay(9))

     ·   keyboards (see wskbd(9))

     ·   pointers and mice (see wsmouse(9))

     ·   input event multiplexor

     ·   font handling (see wsfont(9))

     ·   terminal emulation (see wsdisplay(9))

     The wscons framework replaces the old rcons workstation framework and the
     various machine-dependent console implementations.


CODE REFERENCES

     This section describes places within the NetBSD source tree where actual
     code implementing or using the machine-independent wscons subsystem can
     be found.  All pathnames are relative to /usr/src.

     The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory sys/dev/wscons.
