NAME

       mouse_update - updates the mouse state

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgamouse.h>

       int mouse_update(void);

DESCRIPTION

       This reads in mouse events from the mouse buffer and updates the internal svgalib variables which store the current mouse position and but-
       ton states. If there are no events to be read this routine returns immediately.

       The function returns 0 if there was no event and a non-zero value otherwise.

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.
