3 3 NAME
4 - zcons - Zone console device driver
4 + zcons - Zone console device driver
5 5
6 6 DESCRIPTION
7 - The zcons character driver exports the console for system zones. The
8 - driver is comprised of two "sides:" a master side with which
9 - applications in the global zone communicate, and a slave side, which
10 - receives I/O from the master side. The slave side is available in the
11 - global zones.
7 + The zcons character driver exports the console for system zones. The
8 + driver is fundamentally similar to a pseudo-terminal device, and is thus
9 + comprised of two sides:
12 10
11 + o a manager device, which applications in the global zone can open for
12 + communication
13 13
14 - Applications must not depend on the location of /dev or /devices
15 - entries exported by zcons. Inside a zone, the zcons slave side is
16 - fronted by /dev/console and other console-related symbolic links,
17 - which are used by applications that expect to write to the system
18 - console.
14 + o a subsidiary device, which processes in the non-global zone can write
15 + to, to communicate with global zone management applications
19 16
17 + Applications must not depend on the location of /dev or /devices entries
18 + exposed by zcons in the global zone. Inside a non-global zone, the zcons
19 + subsidiary device is fronted by /dev/console and other console-related
20 + symbolic links, which are used by applications that expect to write to
21 + the system console.
20 22
21 - The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may change in future releases.
23 + The zcons driver is not a Committed interface, and may change at any
24 + time.
