Zhcon(1) fast CJK console environment for GNU/Linux and BSD

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Zhcon is a fast Linux console system which supports framebuffer device. It can display Chinese, Japanese and Korean double byte characters.

Supported encodings are: GB2312, GBK, BIG5, JIS and KSC.

It can also use input methods (table based) from MS pwin98 and UCDOS for MS-DOS.

-h, --help
Print help and exit
-V, --version
Print version and exit
--utf8
use iconv filter to convert UTF-8 stream from/to system encoding (default=off)
--drv=STRING
specify video driver (auto, fb, ggi, vga) (default=`auto')

If a program name is given as a command line argument, zhcon will run this program on start instead of a shell, and quit when the program exits. For example:
zhcon screen
will run screen in zhcon insteal of default user shell.

On startup, zhcon first try to load configuration from ~/.zhconrc. If failed, it will use /etc/zhcon.conf by default. The configure file has many options that can be used to control the behavior of zhcon. See the comments in the file for instruction on customizing zhcon.
