wsconscfg
tool allows to create, delete and switch
between virtual terminals on display devices controlled by the wscons terminal
framework if the underlying display hardware driver supports multiple screens.
Further it controls the assignment of keyboards to displays. The
index argument specifies which virtual terminal is to be
configured; the allowed numbers are from 0 to an implementation-specified
value (currently 7, allowing for 8 virtual terminals on a display). In
keyboard configuration mode, it specifies the
wskbd(4) device to attach or
detach. Without further option arguments, a virtual terminal is created with
implementation specific properties and a default terminal emulation variant
selected at kernel compile time.
The options are:
-d
-F
option is applied. Terminals
used by the operating system console or a graphics program (X server)
cannot be deleted. With the -k
flag, the keyboard
specified by index will be detached from the wscons
display. With the -m
flag, the multiplexor
specified by index will be detached from the wscons
display.-e

typeTypically, the wsconscfg
utility will be
invoked in system startup by the /etc/rc.d/wscons
script, controlled by the /etc/wscons.conf
configuration file.
wsconscfg -t 80x50 -e vt100
1
Configure screen 1 (i.e., the second), it will get the type
‘80x50
’ and use the VT100 terminal
emulation. (Note: ‘80x50
’ is a screen
type offered by the vga(4)
display driver. In this particular case, an 8×8-font must be loaded
before to make the screen useful. See
wsfontload(8).)
wsconscfg -k
Connect the first unconnected keyboard to the display.
wsconscfg 3
Create screen 3.
wsconscfg -d 3
Delete screen 3.
wsconscfg -s 2
Switch to screen 2.
