VIS_PUTCMAP

The VIS_PUTCMAP ioctl command establishes the console color map. The terminal emulator calls this function to set up the color map of the kernel. The vis_cmap structure is shown in the following code. This structure only applies to 8-bit color indexed mode.

struct vis_cmap {
      int             index;  /* Index into colormap to start updating */
      int             count;  /* Number of entries to update */
      unsigned char   *red;   /* List of red values */
      unsigned char   *green; /* List of green values */
      unsigned char   *blue;  /* List of blue values */
};

The VIS_PUTCMAP ioctl command is similar to the FBIOPUTCMAP command. The VIS_PUTCMAP command is specific to the frame buffer terminal-emulator compatible console code.
