  1config VT
  2	bool "Virtual terminal" if EXPERT

  4	select INPUT
  5	default y
  6	---help---
  7	  If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
  8	  display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
  9	  can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
 10	  one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
 11	  virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
 12	  one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
 13	  an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
 14	  is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
 15
 16	  The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
 17	  properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
 18	  man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
 19	  character sequences that can be used to change those properties
 20	  directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
 21	  the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
 22	  with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
 23
 24	  You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
 25	  of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
 26	  embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
 27	  memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
 28	  or network connection.

 30	  If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
 31	  shiny Linux system :-)

 33config CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS

 41config VT_CONSOLE
 42	bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EXPERT
 43	depends on VT
 44	default y
 45	---help---
 46	  The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
 47	  and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
 48	  answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
 49	  a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
 50	  common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
 51	  the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
 52	  you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
 53
 54	  If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
 55	  terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
 56	  that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
 57	  would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
 58	  bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
 59	  loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

 72       ---help---
 73         The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
 74         terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
 75         console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
 76         drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
 77         1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to

 85config UNIX98_PTYS
 86	bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT
 87	default y
 88	---help---
 89	  A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
 90	  halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
 91	  a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
 92	  read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
 93	  terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
 94	  and xterms.
 95
 96	  Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
 97	  masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
 98	  has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
 99	  however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
100	  pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
101	  terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
102	  terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
103	  traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
104
105	  All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys.  Say Y unless
106	  you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.
107
108config DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES
109	bool "Support multiple instances of devpts"
110	depends on UNIX98_PTYS
111	default n
112	---help---
113	  Enable support for multiple instances of devpts filesystem.
114	  If you want to have isolated PTY namespaces (eg: in containers),
115	  say Y here.  Otherwise, say N. If enabled, each mount of devpts
116	  filesystem with the '-o newinstance' option will create an
117	  independent PTY namespace.

121	default y
122	---help---
123	  A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
124	  halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
125	  a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
126	  read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a

142	---help---
143	  The maximum number of legacy PTYs that can be used at any one time.
144	  The default is 256, and should be more than enough.  Embedded
145	  systems may want to reduce this to save memory.
146
147	  When not in use, each legacy PTY occupies 12 bytes on 32-bit
148	  architectures and 24 bytes on 64-bit architectures.

166	---help---
167	  Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards
168	  which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
169	  This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
170	  Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
171	  serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
172	  connections.
173
174	  Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
175	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
176	  the questions about non-standard serial boards.
177

215	help
216	  The Cyclades-Z family of multiport cards allows 2 (two) driver op
217	  modes: polling and interrupt. In polling mode, the driver will check
218	  the status of the Cyclades-Z ports every certain amount of time
219	  (which is called polling cycle and is configurable). In interrupt
220	  mode, it will use an interrupt line (IRQ) in order to check the
221	  status of the Cyclades-Z ports. The default op mode is polling. If
222	  unsure, say N.

175	  Historically the kernel has always automatically loaded any
176	  line discipline that is in a kernel module when a user asks
177	  for it to be loaded with the TIOCSETD ioctl, or through other
178	  means.  This is not always the best thing to do on systems
179	  where you know you will not be using some of the more
180	  "ancient" line disciplines, so prevent the kernel from doing
181	  this unless the request is coming from a process with the
182	  CAP_SYS_MODULE permissions.
183
184	  Say 'Y' here if you trust your userspace users to do the right
185	  thing, or if you have only provided the line disciplines that
186	  you know you will be using, or if you wish to continue to use
187	  the traditional method of on-demand loading of these modules
188	  by any user.
189
190	  This functionality can be changed at runtime with the
191	  dev.tty.ldisc_autoload sysctl, this configuration option will
