Annotated Snippet
What: /sys/class/tty/console/active
Date: Nov 2010
Contact: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
Description:
Shows the list of currently configured
console devices, like 'tty1 ttyS0'.
The last entry in the file is the active
device connected to /dev/console.
The file supports poll() to detect virtual
console switches.
What: /sys/class/tty/tty<x>/active
Date: Nov 2010
Contact: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
Description:
Shows the currently active virtual console
device, like 'tty1'.
The file supports poll() to detect virtual
console switches.
What: /sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/uartclk
Date: Sep 2012
Contact: Tomas Hlavacek <tmshlvck@gmail.com>
Description:
Shows the current uartclk value associated with the
UART port in serial_core, that is bound to TTY like ttyS0.
uartclk = 16 * baud_base
These sysfs values expose the TIOCGSERIAL interface via
sysfs rather than via ioctls.
What: /sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/type
Date: October 2012
Contact: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
Description:
Shows the current tty type for this port.
These sysfs values expose the TIOCGSERIAL interface via
sysfs rather than via ioctls.
What: /sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/line
Date: October 2012
Contact: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
Description:
Shows the current tty line number for this port.
These sysfs values expose the TIOCGSERIAL interface via
sysfs rather than via ioctls.
What: /sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/port
Date: October 2012
Contact: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
Description:
Shows the current tty port I/O address for this port.
These sysfs values expose the TIOCGSERIAL interface via
sysfs rather than via ioctls.
What: /sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/irq
Date: October 2012
Contact: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>
Description:
Shows the current primary interrupt for this port.
These sysfs values expose the TIOCGSERIAL interface via
sysfs rather than via ioctls.
What: /sys/class/tty/ttyS<x>/flags

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
