NAME

       vga_getmodename - return a name for the given video mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       char *vga_getmodename(int mode);

DESCRIPTION

       A  pointer  to a static memory buffer is returned. Depending on mode it consist of a capital G followed by the amount of x pixels, followed
       by a lower case x, followed by the amount of y pixels, followed by a lower case x.  Finally the number of  different  colors  is  appended.
       Here the shortcuts 32K,64K,16M, and 16M4 are used for 32768, 65536, and 16777216 are used. The last refers also to 16777216 which are store
       in 4 bytes (highest address byte unused) for easier screen access.

       For unsupported values of mode the empty string "" is returned. In general the string resembles the corresponding #define for the videomode
       in #include <vga.h>.

EXAMPLE

       vga_getmodename(10) returns "G640x480x256".

NAME

       vga_getmodenumber - return a number for the given video mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       int vga_getmodenumber(char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       The  function  parses  *name  and  tries to find a videomode corresponding on it.  *name is parsed case insensitive and should be either an
       integer string just giving a mode number or consist of a capital G followed by the amount of x pixels, followed by a lower case x, followed
       by the amount of y pixels, followed by a lower case x.  Finally the number of different colors is appended. Here the shortcuts 32K,64K,16M,
       and 16M4 are used for 32768, 65536, and 16777216 are used. The last refers also to 16777216 which are store in  4  bytes  (highest  address
       byte unused) for easier screen access.

       For  unsupported values or the string "PROMPT" the value -1 is returned. Also a irritating error message is printed to stdout. This is used
       during parsing the SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable. Probably it should not be used for anything else.

EXAMPLE

       vga_getmodenumber("G640x480x256") returns 10.
