SYNOPSIS

9       #include <vgamouse.h>
10
11       int mouse_getx(void);
12       int mouse_gety(void);
13       int mouse_getbutton(void);

DESCRIPTION

17       These  three  routines  do  the obvious, namely returning current mouse
18       pointer position and button state.  mouse_getbutton() returns an  inte‐
19       ger which can be bitwise &'d with MOUSE_LEFTBUTTON, MOUSE_MIDDLEBUTTON,
20       MOUSE_RIGHTBUTTON, MOUSE_FOURTHBUTTON, MOUSE_FIFTHBUTTON,  MOUSE_SIXTH‐
21       BUTTON, or MOUSE_RESETBUTTON.
22
23       A  1  on any of these bits means the button has been pressed, a 0 means
24       it hasn't.
25
26       Please note that you need to call mouse_update(3)  or  mouse_waitforup‐
27       date(3) for the mouse state actually to change.
28
29       For  3d  pointer  devices,  there  is  actually  another interface. See
30       mouse_getposition_6d(3).
