mouse_close(3)							Svgalib User Manual						    mouse_close(3)

NAME
mouse_close - explicitly close a mouse SYNOPSIS
#include <vgamouse.h> void mouse_close(void); DESCRIPTION
Closes the mouse device file. This should be called at the end of the program (if a mouse is used) because it tries to restore the origi- nal mouse state, if it has changed. In particular - don't call mouse_init(), mouse_close(), mouse_init() this sequence is not going to work. Leave the mouse device open until the end of the program. SEE ALSO

mouse_init(3)							Svgalib User Manual						     mouse_init(3)

NAME
mouse_init, mouse_init_return_fd - specifically initialize a mouse SYNOPSIS
#include <vgamouse.h> int mouse_init(char *dev, int type, int samplerate); int mouse_init_return_fd(char *dev, int type, int samplerate); DESCRIPTION
These routines can be used to open the mouse manually, ignoring the mouse types or devices specified in the config file. dev is the name of the mouse device (defaults to /dev_mouse). samplerate may be one MOUSE_DEFAULTSAMPLERATE(150) or any other value. Probably it is in Hz. type is one of the types which are listed already in vga_getmousetype(3). If these routines are used it is not necessary to call vga_setmousesupport(3), but it's probably better to not use these and use vga_set- mousesupport(3) instead. The return_fd version returns the file descriptor of the mouse device to allow you to do further tricks with the mouse (but the filehandle may change during a VC switch). The other version just returns 0 if successful. Both return -1 on error. SEE ALSO
