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.
