Details

getcons redirects the console output to the current tty.

This is a program by Enrik who founded the wehavemorefun Wiki.
He released it end of 2004 as getcons.c under the terms of the GPL.
In fw 3.23 getcons also found its way into FRITZ!OS.

In early 2005 Enrik released getcons as a busybox patch where it turned the setconsole applet.
Apparently AVM did not notice this so they included this binary until they removed it in FRITZ!OS 7.
In Freetz removing getcons turned a default patch, which saves 3-65 kB.

getcons is used in /etc/profile.

Fw 6.88 help - manually enhanced:

root@fritz:/var/mod/root# getcons h e l p

usage: getcons [<device>]

	re-direct system console to current tty

The <device> defaults to /dev/tty.

GPL-Browser

Daily updated index of all getcons code findings on the GPL-Browser. Last update: 2025-05-26 04:00 GMT.
The Browse column points to the Path containing the respective source code on the gpl.boxmatrix.info service.
The SoC column lists the Chip-Codenames, the Model column lists the nicks of the Box-Models.
The Diff column links the comparison of the AVM Kernel to the pristine original from Kernel.org.
The Download column links the full tarball the respective directory content is extracted from.
The presence of the source does not mean it fits the respective model and architecture. See the Model-Matrix where it's used.
