Yes when I read Nico Kadel-Garcia post, I think that it was talking about the right man page, but it wasn't: http://linux.die.net/man/1/console is about an appl (section 1 of manual !) and it says : "The type of console. Values will be a '/' for a local device, '|' for a command, '!' for a remote port, '%' for a Unix domain socket, and '#' for a noop console.
