vga_getmousetype(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	   vga_getmousetype(3)

NAME
       mouse_getcaps - returns the capabilities of the mouse

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vgamouse.h>

       int mouse_getcaps(struct MouseCaps *caps);

DESCRIPTION
       This  fills  a structure with information about the capabilities of the
       mouse as configured in /etc/vga/libvga.config.

       The return value is 0 on success, -1 on failure. Failure indicates that
       an  older  version  of  the svgalib library is being used that does not
       support this function, and the capabilities should be inferred from the
       mouse type as retrieved by the function vga_getmousetype(3).

       The MouseCaps structure contains the following members:

       int key;
	      After  a	successful call of mouse_getcaps this should be set to
	      MOUSE_GOTCAPS.  The values of this and  the  other  members  are
	      undefined in the case of failure.
       int buttons;
	      A	 bitmask indicating which buttons are supported by the device,
	      composed of the constants MOUSE_LEFTBUTTON,  MOUSE_MIDDLEBUTTON,
	      MOUSE_RIGHTBUTTON,     MOUSE_FOURTHBUTTON,    MOUSE_FIFTHBUTTON,
	      MOUSE_SIXTHBUTTON, and MOUSE_RESETBUTTON. Note  that  MOUSE_MID‐
	      DLEBUTTON	 may  be set when using mouse protocols that support a
	      middle button even if there is no button physically  present  on
	      the mouse.
       int axes;
	      A	 bitmask  indicating  which  axes are supported by the device,
	      composed of the constants	 MOUSE_XDIM,  MOUSE_YDIM,  MOUSE_ZDIM,
	      MOUSE_RXDIM, MOUSE_RYDIM, and MOUSE_RZDIM.
       int info;
	      A	 bitmask  indicating  other  information about the mouse. Cur‐
	      rently the only field defined is MOUSE_INFO_WHEEL,  which	 indi‐
	      cates that the mouse is a wheel mouse.
       int reserved0;
	      Reserved for future use.
       int reserved1;
	      Reserved for future use.

       Your application may use this info to perform specific actions (go into
       a 3d pointer device mode or make use of a wheel for scrolling for exam‐
       ple).

AUTHOR
       This  manual  page was heavily edited by Brion Vibber <brion@pobox.com>
       from material on another function edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-
       math.uni-essen.de>.  The	 exact source of the original documentation is
       unknown.

       It is very likely that it is at least to some extent due to Harm	 Hane‐
       maayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

       Occasionally  this  might  be  wrong. I hereby ask to be excused by the
       original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to
       this first version of the svgalib manual.
