SYNOPSIS
screendump [ N ]
DESCRIPTION
The screendump command dumps the contents of virtual console N , (or the current console if N is omitted) to standard out.
NOTES
For security reasons, screendump uses linux devices "virtual console screen" and "virtual console screen with attributes" to give access for screendump.On pre-DevFS systems, you should ensure these files exist, using
-
cd /dev
for i in 0 1 2 3 ...; do
mknod vcs$i c 7 $i
mknod vcsa$i c 7 `expr 128 + $i`
done
(filling in the ellipses) and give the device files appropriate permissions, or run screendump as root.
On DevFS systems, the /dev/vcc/?? devices will automatically be present.
