.TH CONS 4 .UC 4 .SH NAME cons \- VAX-11 console interface .SH DESCRIPTION The console is available to the processor through the console registers. It acts like a normal terminal, except that when the local functions are not disabled, control-P puts the console in local console mode (where the prompt is ``>>>''). You can return to the conversational mode by ``SE T P'' if the processor is still running or ``CONTINUE'' if it is halted. .PP If you hit the break key on the console, then the console will go into ODT (console debugger mode). Hit a ``P'' to get out of this mode. .PP With the above proviso's the console works like any other UNIX terminal. .SH FILES /dev/console .SH "SEE ALSO" tty(4), reboot(8)
