.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\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.

appropriately.

.el .IP "\f(CWserial\-console \-r ../.bochsrc \-l serial.log\fR" 4
.IX Item "serial-console -r ../.bochsrc -l serial.log"
Create a virtual serial console for Bochs, modify \f(CW\*(C`../.bochsrc\*(C'\fR
appropriately, log output to \f(CW\*(C`serial.log\*(C'\fR.
.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.
.PP
You do \fBnot\fR need to rerun \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR afresh for each Bochs
session.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-l,\-\-log \s-1FILE\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "-l,--log FILE"
Log all output (i.e. everything that is printed in the
\&\f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR window) to the specified file.
.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.
.Sp
To avoid modifying any bochsrc file, use \f(CW\*(C`\-\-norcfile\*(C'\fR.
