-### <a name="console"></a>**console**: Console pool objects.
-
-```
-  Console pool is a special pool object that uses the built-in ninja "console"
-  pool. Target using this pool will have access to real stdin and stdout, and
-  output will not be buffered by ninja. This can be useful for long-running
-  actions with progress logs, or actions that require user input.
-
-  Only one console pool target can run at any one time in Ninja. Refer to the
-  Ninja documentation on the console pool for more info.
-```
-
-#### **Example**
-
-```
-  action("my_action") {
-    ...
-    pool = console
-    ...
-  }
-```
 ### <a name="data"></a>**data**: Runtime data file dependencies.
