.SH NAME
mouse_close \- explicitly close a mouse
.SH SYNOPSIS

.B "#include <vgamouse.h>"

.BI "void mouse_close(void);"

.SH DESCRIPTION
Closes the mouse device file.  This should be called at
the end of the program (if a mouse is used) because it
tries to restore the original mouse state, if it has changed.
In particular - don't call mouse_init(), mouse_close(), mouse_init()
this sequence is not going to work. Leave the mouse device open until the end of the program.
