aa_hidemouse(3)

πŸ’– aa_hidemouse β€” it's giving "begone, cursor" ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual β€” aa_hidemouse(3) β€” and honestly? it's a tiny one, but she's iconic. let's get into it πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_hidemouse β€” hide the mouse cursor. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-trick pony and the trick is slay πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <aalib.h>

void aa_hidemouse(aa_context *c);

like, you include <aalib.h>, you call aa_hidemouse with your context, and the mouse cursor just... goes away. poof. not me making the pointer disappear πŸ™ˆ


πŸ’œ PARAMETERS πŸ’œ

  • aa_context *c β€” Not Documented. yeah. the docs really just said "Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―" on this one. it's the aa_context pointer, bestie, that's all we're getting. no cap, that's literally what the page says: Not Documented πŸ’€

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Hide the mouse cursor. that's the assignment, and she did it. 🫢

but listen β€” this function may be ignored by some drivers. so like, don't come for her if your driver's not feeling it that day. she asked nicely, and some drivers just said "no <3". lowkey rude of them, but that's the vibe. 🌈
