vga_showcursor(3)	      Svgalib User Manual	     vga_showcursor(3)

NAME
       vga_showcursor - show / hide mouse cursor

SYNOPSIS
       #include <vga.h>

       void vga_showcursor(int show);

DESCRIPTION
       if show == 0, hides the cursor.

       if show == 1, shows the cursor.

       if show == 2, hides the cursor only if a software cursor is in use.

NOTES
       The show == 2 case is needed, since drawing over the software cursor is
       not allowed. This means that when the program needs to draw and can not
       be sure that the cursor is not overwritten, it needs to hide the cursor
       before drawing. This might cause the cursor to flicker. If  the	cursor
       is hidden by calling vga_showcursor(2) (instead of vga_showcursor(0) ),
       then hardware cursor will not flicker.
