vga_getdefaultmode(3)						Svgalib User Manual					     vga_getdefaultmode(3)

NAME
vga_getdefaultmode - returns the default graphics mode number SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h> int vga_getdefaultmode(void); DESCRIPTION
Returns the default graphics mode number from the SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable; -1 if undefined. The environment variable can either be a mode number or a mode name. See vga_setmode(3) for a list of predefined return values and their meaning. The mode names which can be used in the environment are those used by vga_getmodename(3) and vga_getmodenumber(3). Whenever your application has no special need for a given mode you should always try to honour this setting for consistency among svgalib applications. SEE ALSO

vga_getmodenumber(3)						Svgalib User Manual					      vga_getmodenumber(3)

NAME
vga_getmodenumber - return a number for the given video mode SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h> int vga_getmodenumber(char *name); DESCRIPTION
The function parses *name and tries to find a videomode corresponding on it. *name is parsed case insensitive and should be either an integer string just giving a mode number or 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 or the string "PROMPT" the value -1 is returned. Also a irritating error message is printed to stdout. This is used during parsing the SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE environment variable. Probably it should not be used for anything else. EXAMPLE
vga_getmodenumber("G640x480x256") returns 10. SEE ALSO
