vga_setflipchar(3)            Svgalib User Manual           vga_setflipchar(3)


NAME

       vga_setflipchar - set the character causing a vga_flip()


SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       int vga_setflipchar(int c);


DESCRIPTION

       This sets the ASCII code of the key which causes vga_getch(3) to
       shortly switch between graphics and text mode when waiting for a
       keypress.  <ESC> is the default at startup.

       Because one can now swicth directly between consoles even when in
       graphics modes and the use of vga_flip(3) is discouraged except for
       debugging, this function is just there for vgalib compatibility but has
       no effect!

       This manual page was edited by Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-math.uni-

       the original documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm
       Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

       Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the
       original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to
       this first version of the svgalib manual.
