824. Userspace Programming
83------------------------
84
85The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX).
86
87It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte.
88Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will
89turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off.
90
91You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose...
92Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives.
93
94Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close...
95which is the best option for most uses.
96
97Check samples/auxdisplay/cfag12864b-example.c
98for a real working userspace complete program with usage examples.
