NAME

       vga_getdefaultmode - returns the default graphics mode number

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       int vga_getdefaultmode(void);

DESCRIPTION

       Returns	the default graphics mode number from the SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable; -1 if undefined. The environment variable can
       either be a mode number or a mode name. See vga_setmode(3) for a list of predefined return values and their meaning. The mode  names  which
       can be used in the environment are those used by vga_getmodename(3) and vga_getmodenumber(3).

       Whenever  your  application has no special need for a given mode you should always try to honour this setting for consistency among svgalib
       applications.
