This will make it more easy for people to experiment with TERM=xterm.
Instead of echoing these strange escape sequences, I can just instruct
them to run `vidcontrol -T xterm'.
24, and 32 bit modes. To use that, syscons(4) must be built with
the compile time option 'options SC_PIXEL_MODE', and VESA support (a.k.a.
vesa.ko) must be either loaded, or be compiled into the kernel.
Do not return EINVAL when the mouse state is changed to what it already is,
which seems to cause problems when you have two mice attached, and
applications are not likely obtain useful information through the EINVAL
caused by showing the mouse pointer twice.
Teach vidcontrol(8) about mode names like MODE_<NUMBER>, where <NUMBER> is
the video mode number from the vidcontrol -i mode output. Also, revert the
video mode if something fails.

- Use foo(void) instead of foo().
- Use static where applicable.
- Apply more const's when passing parameters
- signed/unsigned madness
- Avoid namespace collision by adding underscores.
- For 64-bit architectures, use %zx instead of %x
when necessary.
- When storing constants, use const instead of
variable.
- Bump WARNS?= from 2 to 6
implemented using a new VT_LOCKSWITCH ioctl. Although it is possible
to implement something like this by VT_SETMODEing to VT_PROCESS and
never releasing the vty, that method has a number of downsides, the
biggest of which is that some program has to stay resident for the
lock to be in effect.

case use size of the currently displaying font as a suffix. For example,
when the when the size of the currently displayed font is 8x8 the
following command will load koi8-r-8x8.fnt.
# vidcontrol -f koi8-r

1) Removed the low-level (unneeded in this context) details on
escape sequences that are already documented in screen(4).
2) Removed whitespace at EOL.
3) Removed the garbage from previous revision.
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
the following fixes had been made:
- check the size of the font being loaded and compare it with possible sizes
to minimise possibility of loading something that is not a fontfile at all
and turning console screen into garbage;
- prevent buffer overflow (and coredump as a result ) when loading valid
uuencoded file with size that exceeds allocated buffer;
- correct and improve several error messages.
