gpm: Utility Functions

 
 4.2.4 Utility Functions
 -----------------------
 
  -- Function: int Gpm_Repeat (int MILLISECS);
 
      It returns 1 if no mouse events arrive in the next MILLICECS
      milliseconds, 0 otherwise.  It is meant to be used by those
      handlers which need to repeat an action as long as the mouse button
      is pressed ('while(Gpm_Repeat(200))...').
 
  -- Function: int Gpm_DrawPointer (int X, int Y, int FD);
 
  -- Function: int GPM_DRAWPOINTER (Gpm_Event *EPTR;)
 
      These are actually macros.  They should be used to draw the mouse
      pointer after mangling the screen (while dragging on a menu, say),
      because letting it to the server won't work nicely, due to lack of
      synchronism between client and server.  The file descriptor should
      refer to the console.  The return value is 0 on success and -1 on
      failure.  'Gpm_DrawPointer' is obsolete, and is retained only for
      compatibility.
 
  -- Function: int Gpm_FitValuesM (int *X, int *Y, int MARGIN);
 
  -- Function: int Gpm_FitValues (X,Y);
 
  -- Function: void Gpm_FitEvent (EPTR);
 
      The first is a function, while the other are macros.  Note that
      'Gpm_FitEvent' does not return values.  These three procedures
      should be used to fit the pointer inside the visible screen.  They
      are needed for drag and release event.  A connection bit will be
      available in the future to force the pointer in the visible region.
 
      Note that fitting uses 'gpm_mx' and 'gpm_my'.  Variables.
