gl_getcontext(3)						Svgalib User Manual						  gl_getcontext(3)

NAME
       gl_getcontext, currentcontext - get the current graphics contents.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vgagl.h>

       void gl_getcontext(GraphicsContext *gc);

       extern GraphicsContext currentcontext; /* this is already in vgagl.h */

DESCRIPTION
       Save the current context in the structure variable gc.

       You can also get the current context from the global variable currentcontext;

       However, simply access single elements in this structure with the macros given in vgagl(7) but do not copy currentcontext in another struc-
       ture. This is because the size of the structure might change and your program does not know it when it will be linked dynamically to future
       svgalib versions.

       Instead use gl_allocatecontext(3) to allocate such a structure, fill it with gl_getcontext and release it with free(3) after usage.
