VCS(4)                     Linux Programmer's Manual                    VCS(4)



NAME
       vcs, vcsa - virtual console memory

DESCRIPTION
       /dev/vcs0 is a character device with major number 7 and minor number 0,
       usually with mode 0644 and ownership root:tty.  It refers to the memory
       of the currently displayed virtual console terminal.

       /dev/vcs[1-63]  are  character  devices  for virtual console terminals,
       they have major number 7 and minor number 1 to 63,  usually  mode  0644
       and  ownership  root:tty.   /dev/vcsa[0-63]  are  the  same,  but using
       unsigned shorts (in host byte order) that include attributes, and  pre‐
       fixed with four bytes giving the screen dimensions and cursor position:
       lines, columns, x, y.  (x = y =  0  at  the  top  left  corner  of  the
       screen.)

       When  a  512-character  font  is  loaded,  the  9th bit position can be
       fetched by applying the ioctl(2) VT_GETHIFONTMASK operation  (available
       in  Linux  kernels  2.6.18  and  above) on /dev/tty[1-63]; the value is
       returned in the unsigned short pointed to by the third  ioctl(2)  argu‐
       ment.

       These  devices replace the screendump ioctl(2) operations of ioctl_con‐
       sole(2), so the system administrator can control access using  filesys‐
       tem permissions.

       The devices for the first eight virtual consoles may be created by:

           for x in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; do
               mknod -m 644 /dev/vcs$x c 7 $x;
               mknod -m 644 /dev/vcsa$x c 7 $[$x+128];
           done
           chown root:tty /dev/vcs*

       No ioctl(2) requests are supported.

FILES
       /dev/vcs[0-63]
       /dev/vcsa[0-63]

VERSIONS
       Introduced with version 1.1.92 of the Linux kernel.

EXAMPLE
       You may do a screendump on vt3 by switching to vt1 and typing

           cat /dev/vcs3 >foo

       Note  that the output does not contain newline characters, so some pro‐
       cessing may be required, like in

           fold -w 81 /dev/vcs3 | lpr

       or (horrors)

           setterm -dump 3 -file /proc/self/fd/1

       The /dev/vcsa0 device is used for Braille support.

       This program displays the character and  screen  attributes  under  the
       cursor of the second virtual console, then changes the background color
       there:

       #include <unistd.h>
       #include <stdlib.h>
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <fcntl.h>
       #include <sys/ioctl.h>
       #include <linux/vt.h>

       int
       main(void)
       {
           int fd;
           char *device = "/dev/vcsa2";
           char *console = "/dev/tty2";
           struct {unsigned char lines, cols, x, y;} scrn;
           unsigned short s;
           unsigned short mask;
           unsigned char attrib;
           int ch;

           fd = open(console, O_RDWR);
           if (fd < 0) {
               perror(console);
               exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }
           if (ioctl(fd, VT_GETHIFONTMASK, &mask) < 0) {
               perror("VT_GETHIFONTMASK");
               exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }
           (void) close(fd);
           fd = open(device, O_RDWR);
           if (fd < 0) {
               perror(device);
               exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }
           (void) read(fd, &scrn, 4);
           (void) lseek(fd, 4 + 2*(scrn.y*scrn.cols + scrn.x), SEEK_SET);
           (void) read(fd, &s, 2);
           ch = s & 0xff;
           if (s & mask)
               ch |= 0x100;
           attrib = ((s & ~mask) >> 8);
           printf("ch=0x%03x attrib=0x%02x\n", ch, attrib);
           s ^= 0x1000;
           (void) lseek(fd, -2, SEEK_CUR);
           (void) write(fd, &s, 2);
           exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
