Hi, I don't know how well this is an answer to your question, but I would like to be able to find a list of registered "consoles," whether they be serial, usbserial, netconsole, lp, or whatever. /proc/tty/drivers does that partially.
I have a patch that also does it in /proc/consoles: http://www.xenotime.net/linux/patches/consoles-list.patch Is somewhere in /sys the right place to find a list of all consoles?
Thanks, --- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
