SCREENDUMP(1)                             Linux Console                             SCREENDUMP(1)



NAME
       screendump - dump the contents of a virtual console to stdout


SYNOPSIS
       screendump [ N ]


DESCRIPTION
       The  screendump  command dumps the contents of virtual console N , (or the current console
       if N is omitted) to standard out.


NOTES
       For security reasons, screendump uses linux devices "virtual console screen" and  "virtual
       console screen with attributes" to give access for screendump.

       On pre-DevFS systems, you should ensure these files exist, using

              cd /dev for i in 0 1 2 3 ...; do
                   mknod vcs$i c 7 $i
                   mknod vcsa$i c 7 `expr 128 + $i`
              done

       (filling  in  the  ellipses)  and  give  the  device files appropriate permissions, or run
       screendump as root.

       On DevFS systems, the /dev/vcc/?? devices will automatically be present.
