Email Reply to "setconsole. c" alesssandro Rubini

With a try-on mentality, I wrote a help e-mail to the idol and replied !!! My little heart ~

Haha ~ Who is Rubini...

My help is mainly about setconsole. C. This is a small program of ldd3.

Setconsole. c

However, the test between the virtual console has never been successful ~ I used * a search engine to retrieve many blogs, all of which are water... the content of the original book is directly copied, and only one of them is found to have been tested for the program, but the test is not successful. Google cannot use it. I don't know the situation. If it is the same, it is retrieved using TTT, there is no substantive setconsole. c's discussion and testing!

The following is the reply from Rubini to me:

First, I pointed out my mistakes.

1. IOCTL (tioclinux) does not affect printf, but printk!

2. tty or terminal is not the console! CTRL + ALT + F * (1 ~ 6) The console is reached, and F7 is a graphical environment, not a console!

Allan cruse made some improvements to setconsole in 2007

Yes, Io can be redirected between consoles !!

This figure shows tty4. I redirected the console Io to Console 3, that is,/dev/tty3.

Switch to tty2. We can insert the hello. Ko module, call printk, and print Hello world.

I deliberately executed the TTY shell program and prompted the reader to perform the insmod operation in tty2.

Why is there a hello World? Where have you been? Console 3!

Press CTRL + ALT + F3 to switch to Console 3.

Finally! IOCTL is used to implement Io redirection between different consoles!

Finally, thank you ~ Alesssandro Rubini & Allan cruse
