[BRLTTY] How does a BrlAPI client detect that brltty has quit?

[Sébastien Hinderer]

Hi again Wil,

> It may be, but how can I determine that via BrlAPI?

brlapi_readKey will return -1 and the brlapi_errno variable will contain
BRLAPI_ERROR_EOF, I think.
Not sure how this works in Python, but at least it should work like that
for C.
As an example one may try the apitest program in the Programs/
subdirectory of BRLTTY's sources.
You may have to compile it by c Programs/ and make apitest
then you can run the program with option -l to test learn mode and kill
& restart a brltty, you'll see that apitest handles such situations
correctly.  

hth,
Sébastien.

PS: Will, I just joined the #a11y channel on irc.nome.org with nickname
|Lupin|, so shall you need some help, I'm there for 10 or 15 minutes.
