+config TTY
+ bool "Enable TTY" if EXPERT
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ Allows you to remove TTY support which can save space, and
+ blocks features that require TTY from inclusion in the kernel.
+ TTY is required for any text terminals or serial port
+ communication. Most users should leave this enabled.
+
+if TTY
+
+config VT
+ bool "Virtual terminal" if EXPERT
+ depends on !S390 && !UML
+ select INPUT
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
+ display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
+ can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
+ one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
+ virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
+ one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
+ an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
+ is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
+
+ The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
+ properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
+ man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
+ character sequences that can be used to change those properties
+ directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
+ the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
+ with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
+
+ You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
+ of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
+ embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
+ memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
+ or network connection.
+
+ If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
+ shiny Linux system :-)
+
+config CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS
+ depends on VT

+ bool "Enable character translations in console" if EXPERT
+ ---help---
+ This enables support for font mapping and Unicode translation
+ on virtual consoles.
+
+config VT_CONSOLE
+ bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EXPERT
+ depends on VT
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
+ and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
+ answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
+ a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
+ common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
+ the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
+ you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
+
+ If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
+ terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
+ that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
+ would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
+ bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
+ loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
+
+ If unsure, say Y.

+ of a foreground and a background color.
+
+ Foreground:
+ 0x00 = black, 0x08 = dark gray,
+ 0x01 = red, 0x09 = light red,
+ 0x02 = green, 0x0A = light green,
+ 0x03 = brown, 0x0B = yellow,
+ 0x04 = blue, 0x0C = light blue,
+ 0x05 = magenta, 0x0D = light magenta,
+ 0x06 = cyan, 0x0E = light cyan,
+ 0x07 = gray, 0x0F = white,
+
+ (Foreground colors 0x08 to 0x0F do not work when a VGA
+ console font with 512 glyphs is used.)
+
+ Background:
+ 0x00 = black, 0x40 = blue,
+ 0x10 = red, 0x50 = magenta,
+ 0x20 = green, 0x60 = cyan,
+ 0x30 = brown, 0x70 = gray,
+
+ For example, 0x1F would yield white on red.

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

+
+config UNIX98_PTYS
+ bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
+ halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
+ a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
+ read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
+ terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
+ and xterms.
+
+ Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
+ masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
+ has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
+ however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
+ pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
+ terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
+ terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
+ traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
+
+ All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless
+ you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.
+
+config DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES
+ bool "Support multiple instances of devpts"
+ depends on UNIX98_PTYS
+ default n
+ ---help---
+ Enable support for multiple instances of devpts filesystem.
+ If you want to have isolated PTY namespaces (eg: in containers),
+ say Y here. Otherwise, say N. If enabled, each mount of devpts
+ filesystem with the '-o newinstance' option will create an
+ independent PTY namespace.
+
+config LEGACY_PTYS
+ bool "Legacy (BSD) PTY support"
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
+ halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
+ a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
+ read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
+ terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
+ and xterms.
+
+ Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx
+ for masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo
+ terminals. This scheme has a number of problems, including
+ security. This option enables these legacy devices; on most
+ systems, it is safe to say N.
+
+
+config LEGACY_PTY_COUNT
+ int "Maximum number of legacy PTY in use"
+ depends on LEGACY_PTYS
+ range 0 256
+ default "256"
+ ---help---
+ The maximum number of legacy PTYs that can be used at any one time.
+ The default is 256, and should be more than enough. Embedded
+ systems may want to reduce this to save memory.
+
+ When not in use, each legacy PTY occupies 12 bytes on 32-bit
+ architectures and 24 bytes on 64-bit architectures.
+

+config SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
+ bool "Non-standard serial port support"
+ depends on HAS_IOMEM
+ ---help---
+ Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards
+ which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
+ This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
+ Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
+ serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
+ connections.
+
+ Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
+ kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
+ the questions about non-standard serial boards.
+
+ Most people can say N here.

+config CYZ_INTR
+ bool "Cyclades-Z interrupt mode operation"
+ depends on CYCLADES
+ help
+ The Cyclades-Z family of multiport cards allows 2 (two) driver op
+ modes: polling and interrupt. In polling mode, the driver will check
+ the status of the Cyclades-Z ports every certain amount of time
+ (which is called polling cycle and is configurable). In interrupt
+ mode, it will use an interrupt line (IRQ) in order to check the
+ status of the Cyclades-Z ports. The default op mode is polling. If
+ unsure, say N.
