From fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kay Sievers Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2010 18:51:05 +0100 Subject: tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device Userspace can query the actual virtual console, and the configured console devices behind /dev/tt0 and /dev/console. The last entry in the list of devices is the active device, analog to the console= kernel command line option. The attribute supports poll(), which is raised when the virtual console is changed or /dev/console is reconfigured.
