# 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.
