.Sh NAME
.Nm screen
.Nd pc display interface
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Access to the
.Em virtual consoles
are obtained through the device files
.Pa /dev/ttyv0
-
.Pa /dev/ttyvb .
Each of these files correspond to a separate
virtual console.
All virtual console devices can be open at once, but only one is
active at a time.
The active virtual console "owns" the keyboard and
display screen.
.Pp
Output to a virtual console that not currently is on the display is
saved in a buffer that holds a "screenfull" (normally 25) lines.
Any output written to
.Pa /dev/console
(the original console device) is echoed to
.Pa /dev/ttyv0 .
.Pp
To switch between the virtual consoles one uses the sequence
.Em ALT+Fn ,
which means hold down ALT and press one of the function keys.
The
virtual console with the same number as the function key is then
selected as the current virtual console, and given exclusive use of
the keyboard and display.
This switch sequence can be changed via
the keyboard mapping ioctl call (see
.Xr keyboard 4 ) .
.Pp
The console allows entering values that are not physically
present on the keyboard via a special keysequence.
To use this facility press and hold down ALT,
then enter a decimal number from 0-255 via the numerical keypad, then
release ALT.
The entered value is then used as the ASCII value for one
character.
This way it is possible to enter any ASCII value.
The console driver also includes a history function.
It is activated by
pressing the scroll-lock key.
This holds the display, and enables the cursor
arrows for scrolling up and down through the last scrolled out lines.
.Pp
The console understands a subset of the ANSI x3.64 character
sequences.
For compatibility with the old pccons, the PC3 character
sequences is also supported.
