FGCONSOLE(1) Linux User's Manual FGCONSOLE(1)NAME
fgconsole - print the number of the active VT.
SYNOPSIS
fgconsole [--help|--version|--next-available]
DESCRIPTION
If the active Virtual Terminal is /dev/ttyN, then prints N on standard output.
If the console is a serial console, then "serial" is printed instead.
--next-available
Will show the next unallocated virtual terminal. Normally 6 virtual terminals are allocated, with number 7 used for X; this will
return "8" in this case.

iscc(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual iscc(7)NAME
iscc - serial communications interface
SYNOPSIS
controller iscc0 at isa0
DESCRIPTION
An onboard Zilog 8530 DUART provides AXPvme-based Single Board Computers with console (CON) and auxiliary (AUX) serial communications
ports. Both serial communications ports can operate at baud rates from B50 to B38400, excluding B134 (see tty(7)).
On AXPvme Single Board Computers configured with a graphics head as the system console, the CON serial communications port (/dev/tty01) is
available for use by application programs as an additional communications port.
In the absence of a graphics head, the CON serial communications port (/dev/console) becomes the system console. When used as the serial
system console, the CON serial communications port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, and no parity.
Regardless of system console, the AUX serial communications port (/dev/tty00) is always available for use by application programs.
RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the CON serial communications port must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity when configured as
the serial system console. The iscc terminal driver enforces this restriction.
No modem control is supported for either the CON or AUX serial communications ports.
