From b293d758470e971253eec42b817bc9ef1213b228 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Thibault Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 23:39:17 -0700 Subject: Console events and accessibility Some external modules like Speakup need to monitor console output. This adds a VT notifier that such modules can use to get console output events: allocation, deallocation, writes, other updates (cursor position, switch, etc.) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix headers_check] Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault Cc: Dmitry Torokhov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/vt.h | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/vt.h') diff --git a/include/linux/vt.h b/include/linux/vt.h index ba806e8711b..02c1c028877 100644 --- a/include/linux/vt.h +++ b/include/linux/vt.h @@ -1,6 +1,18 @@ #ifndef _LINUX_VT_H #define _LINUX_VT_H +#ifdef __KERNEL__ +struct notifier_block; + +struct vt_notifier_param { + struct vc_data *vc; /* VC on which the update happened */ + unsigned int c; /* Printed char */ +}; + +extern int register_vt_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb); +extern int unregister_vt_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb); +#endif + /* * These constants are also useful for user-level apps (e.g., VC * resizing). -- cgit v1.2.3
