aa_getmouse(3)

💖 aa_getmouse — it's giving "where's the mouse bestie" ✨

okay so real talk, this is aa_getmouse(3) from the AA-lib crew, and it lives in the Library Functions Manual section 3 (iykyk). she's small, she's mighty, and she tells you exactly where the mouse was when the last mouse event got read. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_getmouse — Get mouse position as specified by last mouse event read by aa_getevent.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <aalib.h>

void aa_getmouse
(
     aa_context *c,
     int *x,
     int *y,
     int *b
);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• aa_context *c — the AA-lib context you wanna operate on, bestie. that's the whole world she's working in. 💅
• int *x — used to return the X coordinate of the mouse, in characters. yes, characters, not pixels. it's giving terminal-core. 👑
• int *y — used to return the Y coordinate of the mouse, in characters. same deal, she's a char girlie. 🌸
• int *b — used to return the button mask of the mouse. the values used are AA_BUTTON1, AA_BUTTON2 and AA_BUTTON3, so like, mask it and vibe check it. 🖱️

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Get mouse position as specified by last mouse event read by aa_getevent. that's the whole thing, no cap — she's not out here polling the mouse herself, she's just reporting back what aa_getevent already heard. so if you haven't read an event, don't come for her, she has nothing new to tell you. 🙈
