NAME
systemd-getty-generator - Generator for enabling getty instances on the console
SYNOPSIS
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-getty-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-getty-generator is a generator that automatically instantiates
serial-getty@.service on the kernel console /dev/console if that is not directed to the
virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate serial-getty@.service instances for
virtualizer consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is detected. Finally, it
will instantiate container-getty@.service instances for additional container pseudo TTYs
as requested by the container manager (see Container Interface[1]). This should ensure
that the user is shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless of which environment
the system is started in. For example, it is sufficient to redirect the kernel console
with a kernel command line argument such as console= to get both kernel messages and a
getty prompt on a serial TTY. See kernel-parameters.txt[2] for more information on the
console= kernel parameter.
systemd-getty-generator implements the generator specification[3].
Further information about configuration of gettys you may find in systemd for
Administrators, Part XVI: Gettys on Serial Consoles (and Elsewhere)[4].
