NAME

       vga_setpalvec - sets colors in the color lookup table

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Sets the num colors starting with index start to the RGB values in *pal. *pal contains 3 *
       num integers which are the color values to set 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 selects which color all vga_setcolor(start) (and num - 1 following colors) drawn
       pixels will actually refer to.

       Note  that  setting color 0 will modify the background color and that setting any color in
       range 0 .. 15 will affect the operation of vga_setegacolor(3).

       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.
