NAME

       mouse_close - explicitly close a mouse

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgamouse.h>

       void mouse_close(void);

DESCRIPTION

       Closes  the  mouse  device  file.   This  should be called at the end of the program (if a mouse is used)
       because it tries to restore the original mouse state, if it has changed.   In  particular  -  don't  call
       mouse_init(), mouse_close(), mouse_init() this sequence is not going to work. Leave the mouse device open
       until the end of the program.
