+2.0 /proc/consoles
+------------------
+Shows registered system console lines.
+
+To see which character device lines are currently used for the system console
+/dev/console, you may simply look into the file /proc/consoles:
+
+ > cat /proc/consoles
+ tty0 -WU (ECp) 4:7
+ ttyS0 -W- (Ep) 4:64
+
+The columns are:
+
+ device name of the device
+ operations R = can do read operations
+ W = can do write operations
+ U = can do unblank
+ flags E = it is enabled
+ C = it is prefered console
+ B = it is primary boot console
+ p = it is used for printk buffer
+ b = it is not a TTY but a Braille device
+ a = it is safe to use when cpu is offline
+ major:minor major and minor number of the device separated by a colon
