.SH NAME
vga_gettextmoderegs, vga_settextmoderegs \- get/set the vga state used in text mode
.SH SYNOPSIS

.B "#include <vga.h>"

.BI "void vga_gettextmoderegs(void *state);"
.br
.BI "void vga_settextmoderegs(void *state);"

.SH 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
.BR restoretextmode "(1), "
.BR savetextmode "(1), and "
.BR 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.
