49b625ed | 35 | <para><filename>systemd-vconsole-setup</filename> sets up and configures either all virtual consoles, or — if the |
651dcdd6 | 36 | optional <replaceable>TTY</replaceable> parameter is provided — a specific one. When the system is booting up, it's |
49b625ed LP |
37 | called by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> during |
38 | VT console subsystem initialization. Also, | |
39 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-localed.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> invokes | |
40 | it as needed when language or console changes are made. Internally, this program calls <citerefentry | |
41 | project='mankier'><refentrytitle>loadkeys</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> and <citerefentry | |
42 | project='die-net'><refentrytitle>setfont</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. | |

55 | <para><command>systemd-vconsole-setup</command> supports the service credentials logic as implemented by | |

56 | <varname>ImportCredential=</varname><varname>LoadCredential=</varname>/<varname>SetCredential=</varname> |
57 | (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for | |
ea575e17 LP |
58 | details). The following credentials are used when passed in:</para> |

72 | <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> on first boot (if not already configured), and then read from | |
73 | there by <command>systemd-vconsole-setup</command>, while <varname>vconsole.keymap</varname> is read | |
74 | on every boot, and is not persisted to disk (but any configuration in | |
