The wskbd module is a component of the wscons(9) framework to provide
machine-indpendent keyboard support. Most of the support is provided by
the wskbd(4) device driver, which must be a child of the hardware device
driver.
Keyboard drivers providing support for wscons keyboards will make use of
the following data types:
kbd_t An opaque type describing keyboard properties.
keysym_t
The wscons keyboard-independent symbolic representation of the
keypress.
struct wskbd_accessops
A structure used to specify the keyboard access functions. All
keyboards must provide this structure and pass it to the
wskbd(4) child device. It has the following members:
int (*enable)(void *, int);
void (*set_leds)(void *, int);
int (*ioctl)(void *v, u_long cmd, caddr_t data,
int flag, struct proc *p);
The enable member defines the function to be called to enable
keypress passing to wscons. The set_leds member defined the
function to be called to set the LEDs on the keyboard. The
ioctl member defines the function to be called to perform keyboard-specific
ioctl calls.
There is a void * cookie provided by the keyboard driver associated
with these functions, which is passed to them when they are
invoked.
struct wskbd_consops
A structure used to specify the keyboard console operations.
All keyboards which can operate as a console must provide this
structure and pass it to the wskbd(4) child device. If the keyboard
cannot be a console, it is not necessary to specify this
structure. It has the following members:
void (*getc)(void *, u_int *, int *);
void (*pollc)(void *, int);
void (*bell)(void *, u_int, u_int, u_int);
There is a void * cookie provided by the keyboard driver associated
with these functions, which is passed to them when they are
invoked.
struct wscons_keydesc
A structure used to describe a keyboard mapping table to convert
keyboard-specific keycodes to wscons keysyms. It has the following
members:
kbd_t name; /* name of this map */
kbd_t base; /* map this one is based on */
int map_size; /* size of map */
const keysym_t *map; /* the map itself */
struct wskbd_mapdata
A structure used to describe the keyboard layout and operation
to interpret the keyboard layout. it contains the following
members:
const struct wscons_keydesc *keydesc;
kbd_t layout;
struct wskbd_attach_args
A structure used to attach the wskbd(4) child device. It has
the following members:
int console;
const struct wskbd_mapdata *keymap;
const struct wskbd_accessops *accessops;
void *accesscookie;
Keymaps [Toc] [Back]
Keymaps are a dense stream of keysym_t. A declaration has the following
fields:
pos [cmd] normal [shift] [altgr] [shift-altgr]
The fields have the following meanings:
pos Always specified as KC(pos) and starts the description
of key pos.
cmd If the command modifier (KS_Cmd_XXX) is active, the
optional command cmd is invoked.
normal The keysym if no modifiers are active.
shift The keysym if the shift modifier is active.
altgr The keysym if the alt-gr modifier is active.
shift-altgr The keysym if the shift-alt-gr modifier is active.
If the keysym after pos is not KS_Cmd_XXX, then cmd is empty. The shift,
altgr and shift-altgr fields are determined from previous fields if they
are not specified. Therefore, there are four valid keysym declarations:
pos [cmd] normal
pos [cmd] normal shift
pos [cmd] normal shift altgr
pos [cmd] normal shift altgr shift-altgr
wskbd_input(kbddev, type, value)
Pass the keypress of value value and type type to wscons keyboard
driver. Valid values of type are:
WSCONS_EVENT_KEY_UP
Key released.
WSCONS_EVENT_KEY_DOWN
Key pressed.
wskbd_rawinput(kbddev, buf, len)
Pass the raw keypress in the buffer buf to the wscons keyboard
driver. The buffer is len bytes long. This function should
only be called if the kernel option WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD is
enabled.
wskbd_cnattach(consops, conscookie, mapdata)
Attach this keyboard as the console input by specifying the console
operations consops and the keyboard mapping table information
in mapdata. The functions specified in consops will be
called with conscookie as the first argument.
wskbd_cndetach()
Detach this keyboard as the console input.
wskbddevprint(aux, pnp)
The default wskbd printing routine used by config_found(). (see
autoconf(9)).
Keyboard drivers which want to utilise the wskbd module must be a parent
to the wskbd(4) device and provide an attachment interface. To attach
the wskbd(4) device, the keyboard driver must allocate and populate a
wskbd_attach_args structure with the supported operations and callbacks
and call config_found() to perform the attach (see autoconf(9)). The
keymap member points to the wskbd_mapdata structure which describes the
keycode mapping operations. The accessops member points to the
wskbd_accessops structure which describes the keyboard access operations.
The console member is a boolean to indicate to wscons whether this keyboard
will be used for console input.
If the keyboard belongs to the system console, it must register the
wskbd_consops structure specifying the console operations via
wskbd_cnattach() at console attach time.
When a keypress arrives from the keyboard, the keyboard driver must perform
any necessary character decoding to wscons events and pass the
events to wscons via wskbd_input(). If the kernel is compiled with the
option WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD, then the keyboard driver must also pass
the raw keyboard data to wscons via wskbd_rawinput().
The wscons framework calls back into the hardware driver by invoking the
functions that are specified in the accessops structure. The enable()
and set_leds() functions are relatively simple and self-explanatory. The
ioctl() function is called by the wscons interface to perform keyboardspecific
ioctl operations (see ioctl(2)). The argument cmd to the
ioctl() function specifies the specific command to perform using the data
data. Valid commands are listed in sys/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h.
This section describes places within the NetBSD source tree where actual
code implementing or utilising the machine-independent wscons subsystem
can be found. All pathnames are relative to /usr/src.
The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory sys/dev/wscons.
The wskbd module itself is implement within the files
sys/dev/wscons/wskbd.c and sys/dev/wscons/wskbdutil.c. ioctl(2) operations
are listed in sys/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h.
