brlapi_info - Getting Terminal information

Generated automatically by Doxygen for BrlAPI from the source code. BrlAPI Version 0.8 brlapi_info(3)

Before using Raw mode or key codes, the application should always check the type of the connected terminal, to be sure it is really the one it expects. One should also check for display size, so as to adjust further displaying on it.

Parametersbuffer is the buffer provided by the application; size is the maximum size for the name buffer. Returns -1 on error, otherwise a positive value giving the size of the needed buffer (including '\0'). If that value is bigger than size, the value was truncated and the caller should retry with a bigger buffer accordingly. intBRLAPI_STDCALLbrlapi_getModelIdentifier(char*buffer,size_tsize) Return an identifier for the device model used by brltty This function fills its argument with the whole identifier of the braille device model if available, terminated with a '\0'. Parametersbuffer is the buffer given by the application; size is the maximum size for the identifier buffer. Returns -1 on error, otherwise a positive value giving the size of the needed buffer (including '\0'). If that value is bigger than size, the value was truncated and the caller should retry with a bigger buffer accordingly.
