[BRLTTY] BRLAPI

[Rob Meredith]

Samuel:

How difficult would it be for one to modify brlapi to return the dot pattern instead of the character? Was this a fundamental change effecting lots of code and drivers, or can I just change a few lines to make it work the old way?

It was intended, for convenience of the user, yes. There is no way for
an application to choose yet, but that's planned.
