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

165
appropriately, log output to \f(CW\*(C`serial.log\*(C'\fR.
167
.IX Header "INVOCATION"
168
Before starting Bochs, run \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR in a different session
169
(e.g. a different xterm window). When you subsequently start Bochs,
170
anything that the emulated machine writes to its serial port will
171
appear in the window running \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR, and anything typed in
172
the \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR window will arrive on the emulated machine's
175
You do \fBnot\fR need to rerun \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR afresh for each Bochs
179
.IP "\fB\-l,\-\-log \s-1FILE\s0\fR" 4
180
.IX Item "-l,--log FILE"
181
Log all output (i.e. everything that is printed in the
182
\&\f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR window) to the specified file.
183
.IP "\fB\-r,\-\-rcfile \s-1FILE\s0\fR" 4
184
.IX Item "-r,--rcfile FILE"
185
Modify the specified bochsrc file. The file will be updated to
186
contain the path to the slave side of the psuedo tty that we create.
187
The original file will be restored when \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR exits. The
188
default is to modify the file \f(CW\*(C`bochsrc.txt\*(C'\fR in the current directory.
190
To avoid modifying any bochsrc file, use \f(CW\*(C`\-\-norcfile\*(C'\fR.
