.Nm cngetc ,
.Nm cngetsn ,
.Nm cnpollc ,
.Nm cnputc
.Nd console access interface
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <dev/cons.h>
.Ft void
.Fn cnbell "u_int pitch" "u_int period" "u_int volume"
.Ft int
.Fn cngetc "void"
.Ft int
.Fn cngetsn "char *cp" "int size"
.Ft void
.Fn cnpollc "int on"
.Ft void
.Fn cnputc "int c"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions operate over current console device. The console has
to be initialized first, before these functions could be used.
.Pp
Keyboard polling functions
.Fn cngetc ,
.Fn cngetsn
and
.Fn cnpollc
are only to be used during initial system
boot, e.g. when asking for root and dump device or to get
necessary user input within mountroothooks. Once the system
boots, user input is read via standard
.Xr tty 4
facilities.
.Pp
The following is a brief description of each function:
.Bl -tag -width "cngetsn()"
.It Fn cnbell
Ring a bell at appropriate
.Fa pitch ,
for duration of
.Fa period
miliseconds at given
.Fa volume.
Note that the
.Fa volume
value is ignored commonly.
.It Fn cngetc
Poll (busy wait) for a input and return the input key.
.Fn cnpollc
.Em must
be called before
.Fn cngetc
could be used.
.Fn cngetc
should be used during kernel startup only.
.It Fn cngetsn
Read one line of user input, stop reading once the newline
key is input. Input is echoed back. This
uses
.Fn cnpollc
and
.Fn cngetc .
Number of read characters is
.Fa size
at maximum, user is notified by keyboard bell when the end
of input buffer is reached. Standard <Baskspace> key
work as expected. <@> key makes
.Fn cngetsn
discard input read so far, print newline and
wait for next input.
.Fn cngetsn
returns number of characters actually read, exluding
the final newline.
.Fa cp
is
.Em not
zero-ended before return.
.Fn cngetsn
should be used during kernel startup only.
.It Fn cnpollc
Switch the console driver to polling mode if
.Fa on
is nonzero, or back to interrupt driven mode if
.Fa on
is zero. The system priority level has to be raised to splhigh before
the polling mode could be switched on, so that the polled console device would
not be disturbed by interrupts. The system priority level has to be
restored to previous level once the polling mode is switched back off.
.Fn cnpollc
should be used during kernel startup only.
.It Fn cnputc
Console kernel output character routine. Commonly, kernel code uses
.Xr printf 9
rather than using this low-level interface.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
This waits until a <Enter> key is pressed:
.Pp
.Bd -literal -compact
int s, c;
s = splhigh();
cnpollc(1);
for(;;) {
c = cngetc();
if ((c == '\\r' || (c == '\\n')) {
printf("\\n");
break;
}
}
cnpollc(0);
splx(s);
