Wanna have a full capability of Linux console features

Post by babel92 »

Hi all,

Maybe this question sounds dumb but I'm a newcomer and going to work on my console module. I really don't know what kind of low level APIs or abilities I should have to port ncurses or other console libraries to my OS. I don't want to have a windows-like console because it's a bit crippled compared with linux's. Could you tell me where to find those information? Maybe I should read some kernel code but only have a 0.11 one, and it will be nice if you could suggest me some newer versions.

Thanks.
