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.
