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) 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.

AUTHOR
This manual page was edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-essen.de>. The exact source of the referenced function as well as of the
original documentation is unknown.
It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.
Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections
to this first version of the svgalib manual.
