Man, what a joke. The term con refers to console screen. Old computers users like me from the DOS era still use it as a feature.
For example, does anyone here know how to create a file without using a editor. We often used to run into such situation in DOS.
Try this on DOS prompt or C:\>
copy con test.txt
Whatever I am writing in this line will become part of the file called test.txt. That is because I gave the command to copy from con to test.txt. Now I will press Ctrl-Z and the file will be closed.
Once you are writing whatever text, press ctrl-Z and new file test.txt with that text will be created. |
