| \&\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. |

| You do \fBnot\fR need to rerun \f(CW\*(C`serial\-console\*(C'\fR afresh for each Bochs |

| .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. |
