c programming or unix programming!?
i would like advice on the usbject of c programming (in the middle of reading a book on C). could i benefit more if i apply that knowledge in the unix format if i were able to, or would that take the point out of learning C, basically I want to stay away from strying too far away from unix and use the skills that i can gain from languages like c to manifest my unix usage.. is this possible and if so what is the best way to do this.! Smilie yours truely Junior Member!

poll_mouse

poll_mouse(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					       poll_mouse(3alleg4)

NAME

       poll_mouse - Polls the mouse. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int poll_mouse();

DESCRIPTION

       Wherever possible, Allegro will read the mouse input asynchronously (ie.  from inside an interrupt handler), but on some platforms that may
       not be possible, in which case you must call this routine at regular intervals to update the mouse state variables. To help you	test  your
       mouse  polling  code  even  if  you are programming on a platform that doesn't require it, after the first time that you call this function
       Allegro will switch into polling mode, so from that point onwards you will have to call this routine in order to get  any  mouse  input	at
       all, regardless of whether the current driver actually needs to be polled or not.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns zero on success, or a negative number on failure (ie. no mouse driver installed).

SEE ALSO
