DESCRIPTION

15       Calling  this  function  prevents svgalib from revoking root privileges
16       and returning to the uid of  the  user  running  the  program.  Usually
17       svgalib  revokes  privileges  at vga_init(3) time, so vga_norevokeprivs
18       needs to be called before vga_init .
