WSCONS(9)                  Kernel Developer's Manual                 WSCONS(9)

NAME
     wscons - machine-independent console support

DESCRIPTION
     The wscons driver provides a machine-independent framework for
     workstation 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
     The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory sys/dev/wscons.
