Name

console.read — Default Console input stream

Description

Determines where console input will come from. See console.write for details on setting the write stream.

There are three console drivers available on every platform, the null driver which produces no input so no buttons can be pressed, the all-rd driver which accepts input from any console driver capable of producing it and the serial driver which accepts input from the console serial port (typically the first serial port on a system).

The default, where no nvram variable is set, on all platforms since ABLE version 1.79 is the all-rd target.

Warning

This Variable has been renamed in ABLE versions 2.20 and later. In previous versions the variable was called "cons_read".
