Title:
  no console.4 man page

Status in Manual Pages:
  New
Status in manpages package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: manpages

  [on my Intrepid machine]

  % man 4 console
  No manual entry for console in section 4

  [elsewhere]
  % man 4 console
  NAME
         console - console terminal and virtual consoles

  DESCRIPTION
         A  Linux  system  has up to 63 virtual consoles (character devices with
         major number 4 and minor number 1 to 63), usually called /dev/ttyn with
  ...
  COLOPHON
         This  page  is  part of release 3.14 of the Linux man-pages project.

  A console.4 man page has been in the manpages package since 1994. Several other man pages refer to it:
  console_codes.4, console_ioctl.4, tty.4, vcs.4, charsets.7.
  Maybe this page was taken from the obsolete-from-the-start console-tools package that is no longer installed?
  It belongs to manpages.
