| Oct 1, 2015 at 17:22 | comment | added | Dwight Spencer | To add to @Gilles explanation, basically Windows/Dos's console is to UNIX's /dev/tty1 or Plan9's /dev/console. But historically meant the keyboard and mouse or stdin. While serial ports was over COM{1..4} or AUX, and parallel ports was over LPT{1-4}. | |
| Jul 27, 2014 at 21:39 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @noloader Windows's nul and console aren't related to Unix's /dev/null and /dev/console except in some indirect historical way. The names nul and console were inherited from CP/M (which didn't have directories); CP/M/DOS/Windows's nul means the same thing as unix's /dev/null but console under DOS and Windows means a serial port, not the console like on unix systems. If you run an application in Windows's POSIX subsystem (or in another POSIX implementation on top of Windows), you will get /dev/null, /dev/tty and /dev/console. | |
