+=head1 NAME
+
+serial-console
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+serial-console [options]
+
+Options:
+
+ -h,--help Display brief help message
+ -v,--verbose Increase verbosity
+ -q,--quiet Decrease verbosity
+ -l,--log FILE Log output to file
+ -r,--rcfile FILE Modify specified bochsrc file
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<serial-console> provides a virtual serial console for use with
+Bochs. Running C<serial-console> creates a pseudo-tty. The master
+side of this pty is made available to the user for interaction; the
+slave device is written to the Bochs configuration file
+(C<bochsrc.txt>) for use by a subsequent Bochs session.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<serial-console>
+
+Create a virtual serial console for Bochs, modify C<bochsrc.txt>
+appropriately.
+
+=item C<serial-console -r ../.bochsrc -l serial.log>
+
+Create a virtual serial console for Bochs, modify C<../.bochsrc>
+appropriately, log output to C<serial.log>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 INVOCATION
+
+Before starting Bochs, run C<serial-console> in a different session
+(e.g. a different xterm window). When you subsequently start Bochs,
+anything that the emulated machine writes to its serial port will
+appear in the window running C<serial-console>, and anything typed in
+the C<serial-console> window will arrive on the emulated machine's
+serial port.
+
+You do B<not> need to rerun C<serial-console> afresh for each Bochs
+session.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-l,--log FILE>
+
+Log all output (i.e. everything that is printed in the
+C<serial-console> window) to the specified file.
+
+=item B<-r,--rcfile FILE>
+
+Modify the specified bochsrc file. The file will be updated to
+contain the path to the slave side of the psuedo tty that we create.
+The original file will be restored when C<serial-console> exits. The
+default is to modify the file C<bochsrc.txt> in the current directory.
+
+To avoid modifying any bochsrc file, use C<--norcfile>.
