NAME

       vga_getmodename - return a name for the given video mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       char *vga_getmodename(int mode);

DESCRIPTION

       A  pointer to a static memory buffer is returned. Depending on mode it consist of a capital G followed by
       the amount of x pixels, followed by a lower case x, followed by the amount of y  pixels,  followed  by  a
       lower  case  x.   Finally the number of different colors is appended. Here the shortcuts 32K,64K,16M, and
       16M4 are used for 32768, 65536, and 16777216 are used. The last refers also to 16777216 which  are  store
       in 4 bytes (highest address byte unused) for easier screen access.

       For  unsupported  values  of  mode  the  empty string "" is returned. In general the string resembles the
       corresponding #define for the videomode in #include <vga.h>.

EXAMPLE

       vga_getmodename(10) returns "G640x480x256".
