*
* Before being able to write on the braille display, the application must tell
* the server which tty it will handle.
*
* The application must also specify how braille keys will be delivered to it.
* Two ways are possible:
*
* - driver-specific keycodes: applications will get values specific to each braille driver, since the keycode, as
* defined in the driver will be given for each key event (press or release).
* Using them leads to building highly driver-dependent applications, which
* can yet sometimes be useful to mimic existing proprietary applications
* for instance.
* - commands: applications will get exactly the same values as
* \e brltty. This allows driver-independent clients, which will hopefully
* be nice to use with a lot of different terminals.

* \brief Write text to the braille display
*
* After brlapi_enterTtyMode() has been called, the application can
* call one of these functions to write things on the braille display.
*
* \note Be sure to call brlapi_enterTtyMode() \e before calling brlapi_write(),
* or else you'll get an error. This is particularly not always trivial when
* writing multithreaded applications.
*
* \note Dots are coded as described in ISO/TR 11548-1: a dot pattern is coded
* by a byte in which bit 0 is set iff dot 1 is up, bit 1 is set iff dot 2 is
* up, ... bit 7 is set iff dot 8 is up. This also corresponds to the low-order
* byte of the coding of unicode's braille row U+2800.
*
* \note Text is translated by the server one to one, by just using a simple
* wchar_t to pattern table, i.e. no contraction/expansion is performed, because
* the client would then have no way to know how wide the output would be and
* thus the quantity of text to feed. If contraction/expansion is desired, the
* client should perform it itself (e.g. thanks to liblouis or gnome-braille)
* and send the resulting dot patterns. This is actually exactly the same
* problem as font rendering on a graphical display: for better control,
* nowadays all font rasterization is performed on the client side, and mere
* pixmaps are sent to the X server.

* If it is "", the current locale's charset (if any) is assumed. Else, the

/** Read a key from the braille keyboard
*
* This function returns one key press's code.
*
* If NULL or "" was given to brlapi_enterTtyMode(), a \e brltty command is returned,
* as described in the documentation for ::brlapi_keyCode_t . It is hence pretty
* driver-independent, and should be used by default when no other option is
* possible.
*
* By default, all commands but those which restart drivers and switch
* virtual terminals are returned to the application and not to brltty.
* If the application doesn't want to see some command events,
* it should call brlapi_ignoreKeys()
*
* If a driver name was given to brlapi_enterTtyMode(), a driver-specific keycode is returned,
* as specified by the braille driver, usually in <brltty/brldefs-xy> where xy
* is the driver's code. It generally corresponds to the very code that the
* terminal tells to the driver.
* This should only be used by applications which are dedicated to a particular
* braille terminal. Hence, checking the terminal type thanks to a call to
* brlapi_getDriverName() before getting tty control is a pretty good idea.
*
* By default, all the keypresses will be passed to the client, none will go
* through brltty, so the application will have to handle console switching
* itself for instance.
*
* \param wait tells whether the call should block until a key is pressed (1)
* or should only probe key presses (0);
* \param code holds the key code if a key press is indeed read.
*
* \return -1 on error or signal interrupt and *code is then undefined, 0 if
* block was 0 and no key was pressed so far, or 1 and *code holds the key code.
*
* Programming hints:
*
* If your application is only driven by braille command keypresses, you can
* just call brlapi_readKey(1, &code) so that it keeps blocking, waiting for
* keypresses.
*
* Else, you'll probably want to use the file descriptor returned by
* brlapi_openConnection() or brlapi_getFileDescriptor() in your "big polling loop".
* For instance:
*
* - in a \c select() loop, just add it to the \c readfds and \c exceptfds file
* descriptor sets;
* - in a gtk or atspi application, use
* \c g_io_add_watch(fileDescriptor, \c G_IO_IN|G_IO_ERR|G_IO_HUP, \c f, \c data)
* for adding a callback called \c f;
* - in an Xt/Xaw/motif-based application, use
* \c XtAppAddInput(app_context, \c fileDescriptor, \c XtInputReadMask|XtInputExceptMask, \c f, \c data)
* - etc.
*
* and then, when you detect inbound trafic on the file descriptor, do something
* like this:
*
* while (brlapi_readKey(0, &code) {
* // process keycode code
* // ...
* }
*
* The \c while loop is needed for processing \e all pending key presses, else
* some of them may be left in libbrlapi's internal key buffer and you wouldn't
* get them immediately.
*
* \note If the read is interrupted by a signal or by a parameter change
* notification, brlapi_readKey() will return -1, brlapi_errno will be
* BRLAPI_ERROR_LIBCERR and errno will be EINTR.

*
* The default exception handler (brlapi_defaultExceptionHandler()) dumps
* the guilty packet before abort()ing. It can be replaced by calling
