> Allocates a Windows console for the process when no console window exists. If a console window already exists, the call returns without doing anything. The function redirects stdout to console output and stdin to console input after allocation.

<div className="real-function-page">
  ```lua theme={null}
  rconsolecreate()
  ```

  ## Aliases

  rconsoleprint("Console ready")
  ```
