poll_mouse(3)			 Allegro manual 		   poll_mouse(3)

NAME
     poll_mouse - Polls the mouse. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <allegro.h>

     int poll_mouse();

DESCRIPTION
     Wherever  possible,  Allegro  will read the mouse input asynchronously (ie.
     from inside an interrupt handler), but on some platforms that  may  not  be
     possible,	in which case you must call this routine at regular intervals to
     update the mouse state variables. To help you test your mouse polling  code
     even  if  you  are programming on a platform that doesn't require it, after
     the first time that you call this function Allegro will switch into polling
     mode, so from that point onwards you will have to call this routine in  or-
     der to get any mouse input at all, regardless of whether the current driver
     actually needs to be polled or not.

RETURN VALUE
     Returns zero on success, or a negative number on failure (ie. no mouse dri-
     ver installed).
