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 un-
	      defined 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.
