mouse_getx(3)							Svgalib User Manual						     mouse_getx(3)

NAME
       mouse_getx, mouse_gety, mouse_getbutton - query the mouse state

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vgamouse.h>

       int mouse_getx(void);
       int mouse_gety(void);
       int mouse_getbutton(void);

DESCRIPTION
       These  three routines do the obvious, namely returning current mouse pointer position and button state.	mouse_getbutton() returns an inte-
       ger which  can  be  bitwise  &'d  with  MOUSE_LEFTBUTTON,  MOUSE_MIDDLEBUTTON,  MOUSE_RIGHTBUTTON,  MOUSE_FOURTHBUTTON,	MOUSE_FIFTHBUTTON,
       MOUSE_SIXTHBUTTON, or MOUSE_RESETBUTTON.

       A 1 on any of these bits means the button has been pressed, a 0 means it hasn't.

       Please note that you need to call mouse_update(3) or mouse_waitforupdate(3) for the mouse state actually to change.

       For 3d pointer devices, there is actually another interface. See mouse_getposition_6d(3).
