NAME
     vga_getscansegment - get a list of consecutive pixel values

SYNOPSIS
     #include <vga.h>

     int vga_getscansegment(unsigned char *colors, int x, int y, int length);

DESCRIPTION
     The  direct  opposite  of	vga_drawscansegment(). The line of length pixels
     starting at (x, y) is not drawn but instead the colorvalues are taken  from
     the screen and copied into color[0] .. color[length - 1].	Svgalib versions
     was introduced in version 1.2.10.	In high/truecolor modes, the length must
     be given in bytes, not pixels.
