+
+    To make the console accessible, it must be initialized when the program is started:
+    \code
+    #include <senf/Console.hh>
+
+    int main(int argc, char * argv [])
+    {
+        // Configure console nodes, add commands ...
+
+        // Start console server
+        senf::console::start(senf::INet4SocketAddress(12345u))
+           .name("myserver");
+
+        // You need to enter the scheduler main-loop for the server to work
+        senf::Scheduler::instance().process();
+       
+        // Alternatively enter the main-loop via the PPI
+        // senf::ppi::run();
+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    This will start the server on IPv4 port 12345. The servers name (as displayed in the interactive
+    console prompt) is set to 'myserver'.
+
+    After launching the application, the server can be accessed at the given port:
+    \htmlonly
+    <pre>
+    bash$ telnet localhost 12345
+    Trying 127.0.0.1...
+    Connected to localhost.

+
+    The senf::console::Server and senf::console::Client objects offer further API calls. To access
+    the server instance you need to store away the senf::console::Server reference returned when
+    starting the server so you can later refer to it:
+    \code
+    int main(int, char**)
+    {
+        senf::console::Server & server ( senf::console::start( ... ) );
+

+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    The client instance can be accessed via the \c std::ostream arg of any command callback
+    \code
+    void someCallback(std::ostream & os, ... )
+    {
+        senf::console::Client & client (senf::console::Client::get(os));

+    \subsection console_shell Features of the interactive console shell
+
+    The interactive shell will use the GNU readline library for the first connected
+    instance. Further users will not have access to this functionality since GNU readline is
+    completely non-reentrant.
+
+    The shell supports auto-cd and auto-completion: If you enter the name of a directory at the
+    prompt, the console will change to that directory. With auto-completion, any unique beginning of
+    a path component will be completed automatically and transparently to th corresponding full
+    name.
