+.Sh NAME
+.Nm conscontrol
+.Nd control physical system video console devices
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Cm list
+.Nm
+.Cm mute on | off
+.Nm
+.Cm add | delete
+.Ar console
+.Nm
+.Cm set | unset Ar console
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility is used to examine and modify the physical devices which back
+the virtual console devices.
+If no arguments
+(or only the
+.Cm list
+command)
+are specified,
+the current console settings are shown.
+.Pp
+There are two types of logical consoles; a high level console which
+is represented by
+.Pa /dev/console ,
+and a low level console.
+The low level console is used for kernel
+.Xr printf 9
+and
+.Xr ddb 4
+debugger support,
+while the high level console is used by user programs like
+.Xr syslogd 8 .
+Multiple device support is implemented only for the low level console;
+the high level console is set to the first device in the console list.
+.Pp
+Multiple console support may be invoked by passing the kernel the
+.Fl D
+flag from the boot loader, or by using
+.Nm
+to change the list of console devices after the system has booted.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Cm add | delete Ar console
+Add or delete a physical device from the logical console.
+The device must support low-level console operations.
+Adding a device will place it at the front of the list of console
+devices; the first device is used for the high level console.
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar console
+argument
+is the name of a console device in
+.Pa /dev ;
+the name of the directory may be omitted.
+.It Cm mute on | off
+Change the state of console muting.
+All console output is suppressed when console muting is
+.Cm on .
+.It Cm set | unset Ar console
+Set or unset the virtual console.
+When unset, output from the system, such as the kernel
+.Xr printf 9 ,
+always goes out to the real main console.
+When set, it goes to another.
+This is an interface to the tty ioctl
+.Dv TIOCCONS .
