Hi,
I would like to understand how the shell is tied to the console
port. When
an user connects a terminal
to the system via console port, a shell is started and tied to the
console
port (/dev/console ?).
Can some someone explain how this whole process works?. It would be
great if
you can point me
the source code and/or the any documents.
Thanks
Kailas
Why not just go to the source folder for sh (should be under /usr/src/
bin/sh/*) and grep for fopen or /dev/tty? Seems like the kernel would
open up and attach the executing shell to its relevant TTY though
with getty.
