Meaning, the program doesn't have access to that, either. Smilie Terminal scroll locking is not something the program is ever supposed to have control over. Sending data when not requested could mean data loss, so it really doesn't until told.

But at least it will work in a virtual console, unlike the scroll-lock key. The scroll-lock key only works on physical text consoles(which are probably available via ctrl-alt-f1 through ctrl-alt-f6, if you're curious. ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to X11.)

Perhaps your program could do a sort of virtual scroll lock instead. Instead of locking the console, it could just not print?

Hi jim mcnamara,

Do you mean I don't need to realize this function because tty driver has already

provided this.

Thank you!

The tty driver does this for you.

The TTY driver lets the client lock and unlock. It doesn't let your program lock or unlock.
