NAME

       vga_getpalvec - gets colors from the color lookup table

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       int vga_getpalvec(int start, int num, int *pal);

DESCRIPTION

       Gets  the  num colors starting with index start from the color lookup table and stores the
       RGB values in *pal. *pal contains 3 * num integers which are the color values  from  first
       to  last  palette entry in the order red, green, blue (always three consecutive entries in
       *pal built a palette entry.

       Each color entry is in range 0 - 63. This function is only sensible in  16  or  256  color
       modes.  It  shows which color all vga_setcolor(start) (and num - 1 following colors) drawn
       pixels will actually refer to.

       If the VGA_CLUT8 feature is set for the current mode with vga_ext_set(3) the  red,  green,
       and blue values are in the range 0 - 255.

       The function returns the value of num.
