NAME
wscons.conf - workstation console config file
SYNOPSIS
wscons.conf
DESCRIPTION
The wscons.conf file defines parameters regarding to the workstation con- sole (wscons). The file consists of lines starting with a keyword, and one or more arguments. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash (``#'') are ignored. The following keywords and arguments are recognized: font name width height enc file Used to load a font via wsfontload(8). name gives a font name that can be used later, width can be used to specify the width of a font character in pixel, height is the same, just for the font characters' height. enc is used to declare the font's encoding, see the description on wsfontload(8)'s -e option for more detail. file gives the absolute path to the font file. See wsfontload(8) for more information. screen idx scr emul Add and configure virtual console number idx using a screen type of scr (e.g. 80x25) and a emul terminal emulation (e.g. vt100). See wsconscfg(8) for further parameter description. keyboard kbd Attach and configure keyboard kbd using ``wsconscfg -k''. If kbd is `-' or `auto', the first free keyboard will be used. See wsconscfg(8) for more information. encoding enc Set the keyboard map to the given language code enc, using ``wsconsctl -w encoding=enc''. The map must be supported by the keyboard driver in use and must be compiled into the ker- nel. See the keyboard driver's manpage (e.g., pckbd(4), ukbd(4)) for details. mapfile file Parses the contents of file, which contains a keyboard map per line, and calls ``wsconsctl -w map+='' for each line. See wsconsctl(8) for details. mux idx Used to attach and configure keyboard/mouse multiplexors, using ``wsconscfg -m idx''. See wsconscfg(8) for more information. setvar var=val Set wscons variable var to val, using ``wsconsctl -w var=val''. See wsconsctl(8) for more information. Command arguments can be specified as ``-'' which makes default values come into effect as described in the documentation of the utilities.
