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.
