vga_getdefaultmode(3) Svgalib User Manual vga_getdefaultmode(3)NAMEvga_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. If undefined, the from the default_mode configu‐
ration file option. If that is not available as well, returns 10
(G640x480x256). The mode value in the environment variable or configu‐
ration file can either be a mode number or a mode name. See vga_set‐
mode(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.
