Detailed Description

Keyboard abstraction.

Keyboard devices are exposed as /dev/kbd/[id] directories, containing the following files:

• events: A read-only pollable file that can be read to receive keyboard events as kbd_event_t structs.
• name: A read-only file that contains the keyboard driver specified name (e.g. "PS/2")

Free and deinitialize a keyboard structure.

Removes the keyboard from /dev/kbd/[id].

Parameters

kbd	Pointer to the keyboard structure to free.

kbd_push()

void kbd_push	(	kbd_t *	kbd,
		kbd_event_type_t	type,
