NAME
     zcons - 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 applications 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 console.


     The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may  change  in  future
     releases.
