screendump - dump the contents of a virtual console to stdout

SYNOPSIS


screendump [ N ]

DESCRIPTION


The screendump command dumps the contents of virtual console N , (or the current console
if N is omitted) to standard out.

Just saying
cat /dev/vcsN
has a similar effect.

NOTES


For security reasons, screendump uses linux devices "virtual console screen" and "virtual
console screen with attributes" to give access for screendump.

Ensure these files exist, using

cd /dev for i in 0 1 2 3 ...; do
mknod vcs$i c 7 $i
mknod vcsa$i c 7 `expr 128 + $i`
done

(filling in the ellipses) and give the device files appropriate permissions, or run
screendump as root.

Use screendump online using onworks.net services
