   context of more than one toolchain it is recommended to specify an
   explicit toolchain when defining and referencing a pool.
 
+  A pool named "console" defined in the root build file represents Ninja's
+  console pool. Targets using this pool will have access to the console's
+  stdin and stdout, and output will not be buffered. This special pool must
+  have a depth of 1. Pools not defined in the root must not be named "console".
+  The console pool can only be defined for the default toolchain.
+  Refer to the Ninja documentation on the console pool for more info.
+
   A pool is referenced by its label just like a target.
