45 * Console (vt and kd) routines, as defined by USL SVR4 manual, and by
46 * experimentation and study of X386 SYSV handling.
48 * One point of difference: SYSV vt's are /dev/vtX, which X >= 0, and
49 * /dev/console is a separate ttyp. Under Linux, /dev/tty0 is /dev/console,
50 * and the vc start at /dev/ttyX, X >= 1. We maintain that here, so we will
51 * always treat our set of vt as numbered 1..MAX_NR_CONSOLES (corresponding to
52 * ttys 0..MAX_NR_CONSOLES-1). Explicitly naming VT 0 is illegal, but using
53 * /dev/tty0 (fg_console) as a target is legal, since an implicit aliasing
54 * to the current console is done by the main ioctl code.
