VC-GET(8)

💅 The vc-get program 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the vc-get page — the manual name is literally vc-get, and we're doing virtual console stuff today. ✨

vc-get console command [arg ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

vc-get uses the console you hand it to allocate a new virtual console, then it execs command. main character energy, honestly. 💅

console can be specified as a file descriptor or a path; it's typically given as /dev/tty. that's the usual setup, no cap.

For command, vc-get sets these environment variables:

• TTY — the path of the new console 🎀
• VCFD — the file descriptor open to the new console 🦋
• VCNUM — the number of the new console 🌸

⚠️ Currently, vc-get is only known to work on Linux systems. so like, Linux girlies only for now, bestie 💀

and that's the vc-get program page, bestie — footer says it's the vc-get program, and there's no source/version/date line to spill, so this cute sign-off is all we've got 💖✨🫶
