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

- .SH "INVOCATION"
- .IX Header "INVOCATION"
- Before starting Bochs, run \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR in a different session
- (e.g. a different xterm window). When you subsequently start Bochs,
- anything that the emulated machine writes to its serial port will
- appear in the window running \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR, and anything typed in
- the \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR window will arrive on the emulated machine's
- serial port.

- .IP "\fB\-r,\-\-rcfile \s-1FILE\s0\fR" 4
- .IX Item "-r,--rcfile FILE"
- Modify the specified bochsrc file. The file will be updated to
- contain the path to the slave side of the psuedo tty that we create.
- The original file will be restored when \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR exits. The
- default is to modify the file \f(CW\*(C`bochsrc.txt\*(C'\fR in the current directory.

- To avoid modifying any bochsrc file, use \f(CW\*(C`\-\-norcfile\*(C'\fR.
