NAME

       mouse_getx, mouse_gety, mouse_getbutton - query the mouse state

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgamouse.h>

       int mouse_getx(void);
       int mouse_gety(void);
       int mouse_getbutton(void);

DESCRIPTION

       These  three  routines  do the obvious, namely returning current mouse pointer position and button state.
       mouse_getbutton() returns an integer which can be bitwise &'d with MOUSE_LEFTBUTTON,  MOUSE_MIDDLEBUTTON,
       MOUSE_RIGHTBUTTON, MOUSE_FOURTHBUTTON, MOUSE_FIFTHBUTTON, MOUSE_SIXTHBUTTON, or MOUSE_RESETBUTTON.

       A 1 on any of these bits means the button has been pressed, a 0 means it hasn't.

       Please  note that you need to call mouse_update(3) or mouse_waitforupdate(3) for the mouse state actually
       to change.

       For 3d pointer devices, there is actually another interface. See mouse_getposition_6d(3).
