[Linux-fbdev-devel] open and close semanthics

[Alessio S. <al...@ma...>]

Hi, can somebody give me an authoritative answer:
what is the semanthics associated to the "open" and "release" (close) calls?

More specifically, "open" and "release" can/must/must not change any 
setting (resolution etc)?

Should those functions keep a "counter" of how many programs opened it?

bye, thank you
Alessio
