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 con-
     sist 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  #in-
     clude <vga.h>.

     vga_getmodename(10) returns "G640x480x256".
