How to get information about the connected Terminal.
More...
Before using Raw mode or key codes, the application should always check the type of the connected terminal, to be sure it is really the one it expects.
One should also check for display size, so as to adjust further displaying on it.

Maximum name length for names embeded in BrlAPI packets, not counting any termination \0 character
int BRLAPI_STDCALL brlapi_getDisplaySize |

buffer, |

This function fills its argument with the whole name of the braille terminal if available, terminated with a '\0'.
