were named opennt, but that name is now obsolete and
deprecated) has many of the capabilities of an xterm(1)
window, although the actual terminal descriptions are closer to a
vt100 terminal.
The definitive description of the window is the terminfo(5) database description. The termcap(1) description is not as complete (it lacks some of the function keys, for example).
A user at the console has some additional capabilities, included below. A console terminal window has a path name of /dev/ttyn*.
The value for baud rate returned by stty(1) is only meaningful when the terminal was connected to a serial port. If not connected to a serial port (such as the normal console window), the value returned by stty(1) is 9600 (just as with the xterm(1)).
For a user at the console, terminals on the screen can be scrolled using the keyboard:
The console beeps when it can scroll no farther.
The default window size is set using the Windows properties for the desktop shortcut, icon, or window. (For instructions on how to do this, see Change the window size in the "Interix Overview" section of Windows Services for UNIX Help.)
Any console window on the screen can be resized with the mouse.
When the window is resized, the window sends a SIGWINCH signal to the current application.
Colors can be set using the Windows properties for the desktop shortcut, icon, or window. Although colors can be set for an open window, they will not affect all utilities until the next time a window is opened.
The termcap and terminfo databases contain the definitive information on key output codes.
