vga_gettextmoderegs(3)	       Svgalib User Manual	  vga_gettextmoderegs(3)

NAME
     vga_gettextmoderegs,  vga_settextmoderegs	-  get/set the vga state used in
     text mode

SYNOPSIS
     #include <vga.h>

     void vga_gettextmoderegs(void *state);
     void vga_settextmoderegs(void *state);

DESCRIPTION
     The functions gives access to the buffer where svgalib saves the vga  state
     which  is	use  when the kernel displays text on the SVGA.  This is used by
     the restoretextmode(1), savetextmode(1), and textmode(1) utilities  to  re-
     store a possibly screwed console.

     The  buffer  currently  occupies 385 bytes. It can't do any harm to make it
     substantially larger to allow for future enhancements.

AUTHOR
     This  manual  page  was  edited  by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-es-
     sen.de>. 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.
