NAME

       keyboard_clearstate - reset the state of all keys when in raw keyboard mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgakeyboard.h>

       void keyboard_clearstate(void);

DESCRIPTION

       When  in  raw  keyboard  mode,  svgalib receives press and release events from the kernel and keeps track
       which keys are currently pressed.  Calling  keyboard_clearstate()  sets  this  information  to  all  keys
       released.  You can use this for cleanup at certain places in your program. In addition svgalib resets the
       states of all keys when a VC switch occurs because it does not know the current state  of  keys  when  it
       regains control of the console.
