+.TH ioctl_console 2 2023-01-22 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+ioctl_console \- ioctls for console terminal and virtual consoles
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The following Linux-specific
+.BR ioctl (2)
+requests are supported for console terminals and virtual consoles.
+Each requires a third argument, assumed here to be
+.IR argp .
+.TP
+.B KDGETLED
+Get state of LEDs.
+.I argp
+points to a
+.IR char .
+The lower three bits
+of
+.I *argp
+are set to the state of the LEDs, as follows:
+.TS
+l l l.
+LED_CAP 	0x04	caps lock led
+LED_NUM 	0x02	num lock led
+LED_SCR 	0x01	scroll lock led
+.TE
+.TP
+.B KDSETLED
+Set the LEDs.
+The LEDs are set to correspond to the lower three bits of the
+unsigned long integer in
+.IR argp .
+However, if a higher order bit is set,
+the LEDs revert to normal: displaying the state of the
+keyboard functions of caps lock, num lock, and scroll lock.
+.PP
+Before Linux 1.1.54, the LEDs just reflected the state of the corresponding
+keyboard flags, and KDGETLED/KDSETLED would also change the keyboard
+flags.
+Since Linux 1.1.54 the LEDs can be made to display arbitrary
+information, but by default they display the keyboard flags.
+The following two ioctls are used to access the keyboard flags.
+.TP
+.B KDGKBLED
+Get keyboard flags CapsLock, NumLock, ScrollLock (not lights).
+.I argp
+points to a char which is set to the flag state.
+The low order three bits (mask 0x7) get the current flag state,
+and the low order bits of the next nibble (mask 0x70) get
+the default flag state.
+(Since Linux 1.1.54.)
+.TP
+.B KDSKBLED
+Set keyboard flags CapsLock, NumLock, ScrollLock (not lights).
+.I argp
+is an unsigned long integer that has the desired flag state.
+The low order three bits (mask 0x7) have the flag state,
+and the low order bits of the next nibble (mask 0x70) have
+the default flag state.
+(Since Linux 1.1.54.)
+.TP
+.B KDGKBTYPE
+Get keyboard type.
+This returns the value KB_101, defined as 0x02.
+.TP
+.B KDADDIO
+Add I/O port as valid.
+Equivalent to
+.IR ioperm(arg,1,1) .
+.TP
+.B KDDELIO
+Delete I/O port as valid.
+Equivalent to
+.IR ioperm(arg,1,0) .
+.TP
+.B KDENABIO
+Enable I/O to video board.
+Equivalent to
+.IR "ioperm(0x3b4, 0x3df\-0x3b4+1, 1)" .
+.TP
+.B KDDISABIO
+Disable I/O to video board.
+Equivalent to
+.IR "ioperm(0x3b4, 0x3df\-0x3b4+1, 0)" .
+.TP
+.B KDSETMODE
+Set text/graphics mode.
+.I argp
+is an unsigned integer containing one of:
+.TS
+l l.
+KD_TEXT	0x00
+KD_GRAPHICS	0x01
+.TE
+.TP
+.B KDGETMODE
+Get text/graphics mode.
+.I argp
+points to an
+.I int
+which is set to one
+of the values shown above for
+.BR KDSETMODE .
+.TP
+.B KDMKTONE
+Generate tone of specified length.
+The lower 16 bits of the unsigned long integer in
+.I argp
+specify the period in clock cycles,
+and the upper 16 bits give the duration in msec.
+If the duration is zero, the sound is turned off.
+Control returns immediately.
+For example,
+.I argp
+= (125<<16) + 0x637 would specify
+the beep normally associated with a ctrl-G.
+(Thus since Linux 0.99pl1; broken in Linux 2.1.49-50.)
+.TP
+.B KIOCSOUND
+Start or stop sound generation.
+The lower 16 bits of
+.I argp
+specify the period in clock cycles
+(that is,
+.I argp
+= 1193180/frequency).
+.I argp
+= 0 turns sound off.
+In either case, control returns immediately.
+.TP
+.B GIO_CMAP
+Get the current default color map from kernel.
+.I argp
+points to
+a 48-byte array.
+(Since Linux 1.3.3.)
+.TP
+.B PIO_CMAP
+Change the default text-mode color map.
+.I argp
+points to a
+48-byte array which contains, in order, the Red, Green, and Blue
+values for the 16 available screen colors: 0 is off, and 255 is full
+intensity.
+The default colors are, in order: black, dark red, dark
+green, brown, dark blue, dark purple, dark cyan, light grey, dark
+grey, bright red, bright green, yellow, bright blue, bright purple,
+bright cyan, and white.
+(Since Linux 1.3.3.)
+.TP
+.B GIO_FONT
+Gets 256-character screen font in expanded form.
+.I argp
+points to an 8192-byte array.
+Fails with error code
+.B EINVAL
+if the
+currently loaded font is a 512-character font, or if the console is
+not in text mode.
+.TP
+.B GIO_FONTX
+Gets screen font and associated information.
+.I argp
+points to a
+.I "struct consolefontdesc"
+(see
+.BR PIO_FONTX ).
+On call, the
+.I charcount
+field should be set to the maximum number of
+characters that would fit in the buffer pointed to by
+.IR chardata .
+On return, the
+.I charcount
+and
+.I charheight
+are filled with
+the respective data for the currently loaded font, and the
+.I chardata
+array contains the font data if the initial value of
+.I charcount
+indicated enough space was available; otherwise the
+buffer is untouched and
+.I errno
+is set to
+.BR ENOMEM .
+(Since Linux 1.3.1.)
+.TP
+.B PIO_FONT
+Sets 256-character screen font.
+Load font into the EGA/VGA character
+generator.
+.I argp
+points to an 8192-byte map, with 32 bytes per
+character.
+Only the first
+.I N
+of them are used for an 8x\fIN\fP font
+(0 <
+.I N
+<= 32).
+This call also invalidates the Unicode mapping.
+.TP
+.B PIO_FONTX
+Sets screen font and associated rendering information.
+.I argp
+points to a
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX

+.B GIO_SCRNMAP
+Get screen mapping from kernel.
+.I argp

+character.
+This call is likely to return useless information if the
+currently loaded font is more than 256 characters.
+.TP
+.B GIO_UNISCRNMAP
+Get full Unicode screen mapping from kernel.
+.I argp
+points to an
+area of size

+Loads the "user definable" (fourth) table in the kernel which maps
+bytes into console screen symbols.
+.I argp
+points to an area of

+.SH NOTES
+.BR Warning :
+Do not regard this man page as documentation of the Linux console ioctls.
+This is provided for the curious only, as an alternative to reading the
+source.
+Ioctl's are undocumented Linux internals, liable to be changed
+without warning.
+(And indeed, this page more or less describes the
+situation as of kernel version 1.1.94;
+there are many minor and not-so-minor
+differences with earlier versions.)
+.PP
+Very often, ioctls are introduced for communication between the
+kernel and one particular well-known program (fdisk, hdparm, setserial,
+tunelp, loadkeys, selection, setfont, etc.), and their behavior will be
+changed when required by this particular program.
+.PP
+Programs using these ioctls will not be portable to other versions
+of UNIX, will not work on older versions of Linux, and will not work
+on future versions of Linux.
+.PP
+Use POSIX functions.
