89	4. USERSPACE PROGRAMMING
90	------------------------
91	
92	The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX).
93	
94	It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte.
95	Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will
96	turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off.
97	
98	You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose...
99	Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives.
100	
101	Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close...
102	which is the best option for most uses.
103	
104	Check samples/auxdisplay/cfag12864b-example.c
105	for a real working userspace complete program with usage examples.
