Terminal device nodes
Applications, for example, login programs, access terminal devices by device nodes.
For example, with the default
conmode settings, udev creates the following
device nodes:
| Device driver | On LPAR | On z/VM® | On KVM |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCLP line-mode terminal device driver | /dev/sclp_line0 | n/a | /dev/sclp_line0 |
| SCLP VT220 terminal device driver | /dev/ttysclp0 | /dev/ttysclp0 | /dev/ttysclp0 |
| 3215 line-mode terminal device driver | n/a | /dev/ttyS0 | n/a |
| 3270 terminal device driver | /dev/3270/tty1 to
/dev/3270/tty<N> |
/dev/3270/tty1 to
/dev/3270/tty<N> |
/dev/3270/tty1 to /dev/3270/tty<N> |
| z/VM IUCV HVC device driver | n/a | /dev/hvc0 to /dev/hvc7 | n/a |
| virtio-console device driver | n/a | n/a | /dev/hvc0 to /dev/hvc<n> |
On LPAR, the 3270 terminal device node is only created if a real terminal is available.
