-----------------------------------------------
check for the existence of a framebuffer device
-----------------------------------------------

:Version: |version|
SYNOPSIS
========
checkfb <[*device*]>
DESCRIPTION
===========
checkfb attempts to open the Linux framebuffer device read-only. If successful,
it reports the display resolution and bit depth.
By default, it opens **/dev/fb0**. The *device* option overrides this.
There are no options.
EXIT STATUS
===========
0 (success) if the framebuffer exists and can be opened.
Non-zero means failure: the device doesn't exist, the permissions
don't allow opening it, or possibly the kernel doesn't support
framebuffer devices at all.
EXAMPLES
========
::
# checkfb
The framebuffer device (/dev/fb0) was opened successfully.
1920x1080, 32bpp
The framebuffer device was mapped to memory successfully.
