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) utili‐
       ties 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.

       the original documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm

       this first version of the svgalib manual.
