SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8)  systemd-getty-generator SYSTEMD-GETTY-GENERATOR(8)

NAME
       systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the
       console

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator

DESCRIPTION
       systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates
       serial-getty@.service on the kernel console /dev/console if that is not
       directed to the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate
       serial-getty@.service instances for virtualizer consoles, if execution
       in a virtualized environment is detected. This should ensure that the
       user is shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless of which
       environment the system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to
       redirect the kernel console with a kernel command line argument such as
       console= to get both kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial
       TTY. See kernel-parameters.txt[1] for more information on the console=
       kernel parameter.

       systemd-getty-generator implements the generator specification[2].

       Further information about configuration of gettys you may find in
       systemd for Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and
       Elsewhere)[3].
