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
       produced,  instead  svgalib  keeps  track  of  each  single keypress or
       depress.	 The return_fd version returns the file descriptor of the con‐
       sole  device  to	 allow	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.
