Subject: rio consctl behaviour

Message-ID: <12C7AF31406704D51DAFFADC11433F25@prosimetrum.com> (raw)

I am wondering if there is a reason for the behaviour described in the
last sentence. It seems like it would be convenient to be able to
just echo holdon > /dev/consctl rather than do the dance in eg.
/rc/bin/hold to keep the fd open. I have commented out
/sys/src/cmd/rio/xfid.c:328,335 in my local copy and nothing seems to
have broken...
