Linux has the ioctls VT_LOCKSWITCH and VT_UNLOCKSWITCH, which our
syscons and pcvt don't have.
However, if all you want to do is to prevent the user from switching
away from the current vty, you can make `lock' use the ioctl VT_SEMODE
to set the switching mode to VT_PROCESS and refuse vty switching until
the user types the correct password (or until timeout expires).
This technique should work with both syscons and pcvt.
#include <machine/console.h>
...
int fd;
void
relase(int arg)
{
/* always refuse to release our vty */
ioctl(fd, VT_RELDISP, VT_FALSE);
}
void
acquire(int arg)
{
ioctl(fd, VT_RELDISP, VT_ACKACQ);
}
main()
{
struct vt_mode mode;
fd = fileno(stdin);
signal(SIGUSR1, release)
signal(SIGUSR2, acquire);
mode.mode = VT_PROCESSS;
mode.relsig = SIGUSR1;
mode.acqsig = SIGUSR2;
mode.frsig = SIGUSR1; /* not used */
ioctl(fd, VT_SETMODE, &mode);
...
/* clean up before quiting */
mode.mode = VT_AUTO;
ioctl(fd, VT_SETMODE, &mode);
}
