Keyboard and mouse drivers for eCos


I've been working on a VNC server for eCos, and need to add keyboard
and mouse drivers.  Is there a standard API for these drivers in eCos?

For example:
I can open my mouse device with something like:

    int mouse_fd;
    mouse_fd = open("/dev/vnc_mouse", O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK);

but what form should the data from the read operation take:

    int bytes_read;
    char data[8];
    bytes_read = read(mouse_fd, data, 8);

If there isn't a standard, does anybody have any ideas for a suitable format?

Having a standard interface to these 2 drivers should also simplify hooking
them into the microwindows code.
