Hi friends,

I am working on Freescale`s MPC8313 Board.
The /etc/inittab file on board, contain the one line given below,
"::respawn:/sbin/getty -L console 0 screen"

So,what is the meaning of "console" & "0" in this line.
screen is the value of my TERM environment variable.

So, Please tell me, what is the use of "console" & "0" here.

Thanks in Advance
