/** \file cons.saver.h
 *  \brief Header: general purpose Linux console screen save/restore server
 *
 *  This code does _not_ need to be setuid root. However, it needs
 *  read/write access to /dev/vcsa* (which is priviledged
 *  operation). You should create user vcsa, make cons.saver setuid
 *  user vcsa, and make all vcsa's owned by user vcsa.
 *  Seeing other peoples consoles is bad thing, but believe me, full
 *  root is even worse.
