I think I already mentioned [1], it requires some other knowledge (regarding ANSI terminals and terminfo/termcap, mostly), however. Overall, there is also vast field of work regarding support of various ioctl() calls, but it is difficult to recommend since it already requires some understanding of strace and kernel inner workings in order to be done right (from my point of view).
