The Linux console provides a way for the kernel and other processes to output text-based messages to the user, and to receive text-based input from the user. In Linux, several devices can be used as system console: a virtual terminal, [8] serial port, [9] USB serial port, [10] VGA in text-mode, [11] framebuffer. [12]
A terminal emulator, or terminal application, is a computer program that emulates a video terminal within some other display architecture. Though typically synonymous with a shell or text terminal , the term terminal covers all remote terminals, including graphical interfaces.
PuTTY (/ ˈ p ʌ t i /) [4] is a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw socket connection. It can also connect to a serial port. The name "PuTTY" has no official meaning. [5]
The other pseudo-device, the slave, emulates a hardware serial port device, [1] and is used by terminal-oriented programs such as shells (e.g. bash) as a processes to read/write data back from/to master endpoint. [1] PTYs are similar to bidirectional pipes. [3]: 1388 Devpts is a Linux kernel virtual file system containing pseudoterminal devices.
It is possible to invoke a Magic SysRq feature over a serial console by sending a serial break signal, followed by the desired key. The method of sending a break is dependent on the terminal program or hardware used to connect to the serial console. A sysctl option needs to be set to enable this function. [11]
The name may refer to ARPANET's Terminal Interface Processor (TIP), a variant of the IMP, used to connect serial terminals directly with ARPANET. tip is referred to in the Solaris documentation as the preferred terminal emulator to connect to a Sun workstation's serial port for maintenance purposes, for example, to configure the OpenPROM firmware.
Tera Term (alternatively TeraTerm) is an open-source, free, software implemented, terminal emulator (communications) program. It emulates different types of computer terminals, from DEC VT100 to DEC VT382. It supports Telnet, SSH 1 & 2 and serial port connections.
