keyboard_init(3) Svgalib User Manual keyboard_init(3) NAME keyboard_init, keyboard_init_return_fd - initialize the keyboard to raw mode SYNOPSIS #include <vgakeyboard.h> int keyboard_init(void); int keyboard_init_return_fd(void); DESCRIPTION These routines initialize the keyboard to raw mode. No ASCII codes are pro- duced, instead svgalib keeps track of each single keypress or depress. The return_fd version returns the file descriptor of the console device to al- low you to do further tricks with it (though it is unclear which). The other version just returns 0 if successful. Both return -1 on error. keyboard_close(3) returns to normal operation. When in raw keyboard mode you can no longer use vga_getch(3) or vga_getkey(3) but you must use keyboard_getstate(3) or keyboard_key- pressed(3). Depending on the setting of keyboard_translatekeys(3) even in raw mode a <Ctrl>-C will cause a SIGINT. In any case svgalib will check for <Alt>-F1 - <Alt>-F10 and perform console switches accordingly.

The exact source of the referenced function as well as of the original documentation is unknown. It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>. Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the orig- inal author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to this first version of the svgalib manual.
