Title The -S and -K parameters for Dev.con
Ref. No. QNX.000009230
Category(ies) Configuration, Character I/O
Issue What do the parameters -S and -K for Dev.con do?

An example: Dev.con -n4 -S -K &

They are not documented anywhere I can find, but are used in our system and appear to do no harm.

-S means no visible screen (a 'virtual' screen is maintained but no visible screen is updated)
