ZCONS(7D)ZCONS(7D)NAMEzcons - Zone console device driver
DESCRIPTION
The zcons character driver exports the console for system zones. The
driver is comprised of two "sides:" a master side with which applica‐
tions in the global zone communicate, and a slave side, which receives
I/O from the master side. The slave side is available in the global
zones.
Applications must not depend on the location of /dev or /devices
entries exported by zcons. Inside a zone, the zcons slave side is
fronted by /dev/console and other console-related symbolic links,
which are used by applications that expect to write to the system con‐
sole.
The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may change in future releases.
