set_cursor_blink(3)

πŸ“¦ version 1.6, in fedora 43, fedora 44

okay bestie, welcome to the gstream manual πŸ’– this one's about set_cursor_blink, a lil function that decides how much your cursor is gonna ✨vibe✨ β€” like, does it blink, how fast does it blink, is it even alive. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gstream.h>

void set_cursor_blink(int cb);

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so what this does is set the number of cursor blinks per minute πŸ’« like, the cursor is gonna turn on roughly cb times every minute. pass 60 and it turns on approximately once per second β€” iconic, honestly, one blink per second is such a clean number 😌✨

and if you pass null, cursor flashing gets turned completely off. no blinking. no flashing. just a still, silent little cursor. periodt πŸ’€

typical good values live somewhere in the 50-80 range, but ngl that's fully a matter of taste β€” you do you, bestie πŸŽ€

⚠️ heads up tho: cursor blinking requires the timers to be installed, because it uses a timer interrupt to time the blinks. so if your timers aren't set up, this vibe check is gonna fail, no cap. πŸ™ˆ

oh and also β€” the default is off, aka 0. so if you never call this, your cursor is just gonna sit there, unbothered, unblinking, living its best still life 🌈
