During that time , stdin , stdout , stderr outputs are not visible . Operating system is not using a graphical display . Therefore , there is a need to be able to define stdin , stdout , stderr divertible to different monitors ( by , for example , loader.conf definitions ) attached to PCI , USB , or main board ports . There is possibility of use of xrandr , but this is an extension to X Window . By using different monitors , it will be possible to view inner working of the operating system on line , otherwise , stored information can be viewed off line . As an example , in KDE , start a terminal . In that terminal , start a graphically usable program , for example , Dolphin . You will see that , there will be many messages displayed in the terminal . No one these messages are displayed when Dolphin is started from KDE menus = . Ability to divert stdin into an independent monitor is important because when a program continuously displays data onto stdout , it is not possible to enter any input up to end of the working program .
