The console driver

% Being the main I/O device on most \ boxes, the console driver deserves some attention. The source code related to the console, as well as the other character drivers, is to be found in <#2603#> drivers/char<#2603#>, and we'll use this very directory as our reference point when naming files. Console initialization is performed by the function <#2604#> tty_init()<#2604#>, in <#2605#> tty_io.c<#2605#>. This function is only concerned in getting major device numbers and calling the init function for each device set. <#2606#> con_init()<#2606#>, then is the one related to the console, and resides in <#2607#> console.c<#2607#>.
