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.
