question : any difference between "echo xxx > /dev/console" and printk

[Tomko]

Hi all,

as topic, do anyone know is there any difference between them ? by the 
way, console should only output but not input , but i could still see 
something when i type " cat /dev/console"  in one terminal then type 
something at the tty where i open the console.  Can anyone tell me why?


Regards,
TOM
