mouse_getx (3)
query the mouse state
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
These three routines do the obvious, namely returning current mouse pointer position and
button state.
mouse_getbutton()
returns an integer which can be bitwise &'d with
MOUSE_LEFTBUTTON , MOUSE_MIDDLEBUTTON , MOUSE_RIGHTBUTTON ,
MOUSE_FOURTHBUTTON , MOUSE_FIFTHBUTTON , MOUSE_SIXTHBUTTON , or MOUSE_RESETBUTTON .
A 1 on any of these bits means the button has been pressed,
a 0 means it hasn't.
Please note that you need to call
mouse_update (3)
or
mouse_waitforupdate (3)
for the mouse state actually to change.
For 3d pointer devices, there is actually another interface. See
mouse_getposition_6d (3).
