NAME
keyboard_clearstate - reset the state of all keys when in raw keyboard
mode
SYNOPSIS
#include <vgakeyboard.h>
void keyboard_clearstate(void);
DESCRIPTION
When in raw keyboard mode, svgalib receives press and release events
from the kernel and keeps track which keys are currently pressed.
Calling keyboard_clearstate() sets this information to all keys
released. You can use this for cleanup at certain places in your
program. In addition svgalib resets the states of all keys when a VC
switch occurs because it does not know the current state of keys when
it regains control of the console.
