RELEASE_CONSOLE_SEM(9)		 Driver Basics		RELEASE_CONSOLE_SEM(9)

NAME
       release_console_sem - unlock the console system

SYNOPSIS
       void release_console_sem(void);

ARGUMENTS
       void
	   no arguments

DESCRIPTION
       Releases the semaphore which the caller holds on the console system and
       the console driver list.

       While the semaphore was held, console output may have been buffered by
       printk. If this is the case, release_console_sem emits the output prior
       to releasing the semaphore.

       If there is output waiting for klogd, we wake it up.

       release_console_sem may be called from any context.
