How does BASH handle KEY BOARD "up arrow"??

hello sir, I am studying the BASH shell. I was wondering how the BASH is able to handle the "up arrow" key to give the commands that were previously typed by us. Can you please tell me the code to do such an operation. I want to handle more such keys and put KEY BOARD short cuts to the BASH shell.

isv

ISV(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    ISV(4)

NAME

     isv -- IDEC Supervision/16 image capture board

SYNOPSIS

     isv0 at isa? port 0x2f0
     isv0 at isa? port 0x2e0
     isv0 at isa? port 0x3f0
     isv0 at isa? port 0x3e0

DESCRIPTION

     isv is a driver for the IDEC Supervision/16, an image capture board that plugs into a 16-bit ISA bus.  The IDEC Supervision/16 digitizes an
     NTSC television signal, storing a 512 x 480-pixel, 8-bit grayscale image in its 256kB dynamic RAM array every 1/30th of a second.	The host
     reads frames from the DRAM using 122881 16-bit I/O reads.	Reading frames from the Supervision/16 is quite slow: after the host reads a
     16-bit word from the DRAM, the Supervision/16 state machine takes approximately 0.5 microseconds to get ready for the next read.  Theoreti-
     cally, a frame rate of approximately 10 frames per second is possible.  isv achieves a frame rate of approximately 6 frames per second.

SEE ALSO

     Programming the Supervision/16 Image Capture Board, IDEC, circa 1991.

HISTORY

     The isv device first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS

     The isv driver was written by David Young <dyoung@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     Synchronizing with the hardware and reading frames from it is very CPU-intensive.

     isv will not detect the capture board if it is not attached to an active video source.  To force NetBSD to detect the capture board at any
     time, re-scan the ISA bus using, e.g., drvctl -r isa0.
