     getcursor(3G)                                       getcursor(3G)



     NAME

          getcursor - returns the cursor characteristics


     SPECIFICATION

          C         getcursor(index, color, wtm, b)

                    short *index;

                    Colorindex *color, *wtm;

                    Boolean *b;




          FORTRAN   subroutine getcur(index, color, wtm, b)

                    integer*2 index, color, wtm

                    logical b


     DESCRIPTION

          getcursor returns two values: the cursor glyph (index) and a

          boolean value (b) that indicates whether the cursor is

          visible.  (Note that in future releases the cursor will

          always be visible.)


          Note:  index, color, wtm, and b are the addresses of

          locations where the cursor variables are returned. color and

          wtm are included for compatibility with previous systems;

          they return no useful information in the current system.


          The default is the glyph index 0 in the cursor table,

          displayed in red and automatically updated on each vertical

          retrace.
