### 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

This section describes places within the NetBSD source tree where actual code implementing or using the machine-independent wscons subsystem can be found. All pathnames are relative to ```/usr/src`.

The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory ```sys/dev/wscons`.
