17 default y
18 ---help---
19 If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
20 display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
21 can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
22 one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
23 virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
24 one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
25 an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
26 is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
27
28 The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
29 properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
30 man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
31 character sequences that can be used to change those properties
32 directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
33 the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
34 with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
35
36 You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
37 of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
38 embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
39 memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
40 or network connection.

55 depends on VT
56 default y
57 ---help---
58 The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
59 and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
60 answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
61 a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
62 common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
63 the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
64 you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
65
66 If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
67 terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
68 that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
69 would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
70 bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
71 loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

88 The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
89 terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
90 console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
91 drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
92 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
93 select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
94 virtual terminals.

100config UNIX98_PTYS
101 bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT
102 default y
103 ---help---
104 A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
105 halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
106 a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
107 read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
108 terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
109 and xterms.
110
111 Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
112 masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
113 has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
114 however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
115 pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
116 terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
117 terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
118 traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
119

121 you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.

128 halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
129 a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
130 read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
131 terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
132 and xterms.
133
134 Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx
135 for masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo
136 terminals. This scheme has a number of problems, including
137 security. This option enables these legacy devices; on most
138 systems, it is safe to say N.

149 systems may want to reduce this to save memory.

152 architectures and 24 bytes on 64-bit architectures.

159 which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
160 This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
161 Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
162 serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
163 connections.
