vkbd - the virtual AT keyboard interface
The driver, like the pty(4) driver, provides two interfaces: a keyboard interface like the usual facility it is simulating (a virtual AT keyboard in the case of , or a terminal for pty(4)), and a character-special device ``control'' interface.
The virtual AT keyboards are named vkbd0 , vkbd1 etc., one for each control device that has been opened.
The interface permits opens on the special control device /dev/vkbdctl When this device is opened, will return a handle for the lowest unused vkbdctl device (use devname(3) to determine which).
Each virtual AT keyboard supports the usual keyboard interface ioctl(2)Nss, and thus can be used with kbdcontrol(1) like any other keyboard. The control device supports exactly the same ioctl(2)Nss as the virtual AT keyboard device. Writing AT scan codes to the control device generates an input on the virtual AT keyboard, as if the (non-existent) hardware had just received it.
The virtual AT keyboard control device, normally /dev/vkbdctl Aq N is exclusive-open (it cannot be opened if it is already open) and is restricted to the super-user. A read(2) call will return the virtual AT keyboard status structure (defined in In dev/vkbd/vkbd_var.h ) if one is available; if not, it will either block until one is or return Er EWOULDBLOCK , depending on whether non-blocking I/O has been enabled.
A write(2) call passes AT scan codes to be ``received'' from the virtual AT keyboard. Each AT scan code must be passed as Vt unsigned int . Although AT scan codes must be passes as Vt unsigned int Ns s , the size of the buffer passed to write(2) still should be in bytes, i.e.,
static unsigned int codes[] =
{
/* Make Break */
0x1e, 0x9e
};
int
main(void)
{
int fd, len;
fd = open("/dev/vkbdctl0", O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0)
err(1, "open");
/* Note sizeof(codes) - not 2! */
len = write(fd, codes, sizeof(codes));
if (len < 0)
err(1, "write");
close(fd);
return (0);
}
Write will block if there is not enough space in the input queue.
The control device also supports select(2) for read and write.
On the last close of the control device, the virtual AT keyboard is removed. All queued scan codes are thrown away.
