149 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
150 \&\f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR provides a virtual serial console for use with
151 Bochs. Running \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR creates a pseudo\-tty. The master
152 side of this pty is made available to the user for interaction; the
153 slave device is written to the Bochs configuration file
154 (\f(CW\*(C`bochsrc.txt\*(C'\fR) for use by a subsequent Bochs session.

165 Create a virtual serial console for Bochs, modify \f(CW\*(C`../.bochsrc\*(C'\fR
166 appropriately, log output to \f(CW\*(C`serial.log\*(C'\fR.
168 .IX Header "INVOCATION"
169 Before starting Bochs, run \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR in a different session
170 (e.g. a different xterm window). When you subsequently start Bochs,
171 anything that the emulated machine writes to its serial port will
172 appear in the window running \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR, and anything typed in
173 the \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR window will arrive on the emulated machine's
176 You do \fBnot\fR need to rerun \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR afresh for each Bochs
180 .IP "\fB\-l,\-\-log \s-1FILE\s0\fR" 4
181 .IX Item "-l,--log FILE"
182 Log all output (i.e. everything that is printed in the
183 \&\f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR window) to the specified file.
184 .IP "\fB\-r,\-\-rcfile \s-1FILE\s0\fR" 4
185 .IX Item "-r,--rcfile FILE"
186 Modify the specified bochsrc file. The file will be updated to
187 contain the path to the slave side of the psuedo tty that we create.
188 The original file will be restored when \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR exits. The
189 default is to modify the file \f(CW\*(C`bochsrc.txt\*(C'\fR in the current directory.
191 To avoid modifying any bochsrc file, use \f(CW\*(C`\-\-norcfile\*(C'\fR.
