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 restore 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.
