<title>Description</title>
- <para><filename>systemd-vconsole-setup</filename> is a helper used to prepare either all virtual consoles, or — if
- the optional <replaceable>TTY</replaceable> parameter is provided — a specific one. When the system is booting up
- it's called by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> during vtconsole subsystem initialization.
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> also calls it internally as needed via
- <filename>systemd-vconsole-setup.service</filename>. The helper calls
- <citerefentry project='mankier'><refentrytitle>loadkeys</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
- <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>setfont</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- internally.
