+.TH forktest 6 "8 April 1998" "Svgalib 1.3.0" "Svgalib User Manual"
+.SH NAME
+forktest \- tests the vga_safety_fork() function.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.B forktest
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is a copy of the
+.BR keytest (6)
+demo (look there). However, it uses
+.BR vga_safety_fork (3)
+to start a background process to restore the
+console in case the fore ground process crashes. It removes all
+automatic restore functions of svgalib. Thus, in case you kill
+this program with
+.BR kill (1)
+or
+.BR <Ctrl>-C ,
+only the background process will
+save your system from being hosed up.
+
+You can set a videomode
+to use by setting the environment variable
+.B SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE
+to a number (see vgatest
+for a list) or a string like G0x1x2 where you replace 0 with desired x
+resolution, 1 with the desired y rez, and 2 with the desired number of
+colors (2, 16, 256, 32K, 64K, 16M, 16M4). Again, only certain choices are
+available, see vgatest for a list.
+
+In case nothing is selected, G320x200x256 is choosen.
+
+This demo is part of svgalib and can be found in the
+.I demos/
+subdirectory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed in the system
+by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if your svgalib was installed by some
+linux distribution. Even then, when you have the demo on your system, you probably won't have
+the sources s.t. it is only of limited use for you.
+
+In case of any such problem, simply get an svgalib distribution from the net. You even
+don't need to install it. Just
+.B make
+in the
+.I demos/
+subdirecty. As of this writing,
+.I svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is the latest version and can be retrieved by ftp from
+.IR "sunsite.unc.edu" " at " "/pub/Linux/libs/graphics"
+and
+.IR "tsx-11.mit.edu" " at " "/pub/linux/sources/libs"
+which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.
