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

Pascal
procedure getcursor (var index: Short;
var color, wtm: Colorindex; var b: Boolean);

DESCRIPTION

getcursor returns four values: the cursor glyph (index); the color (color) and the writemask (wtm) of the glyph, and a boolean value (b) indicates whether the system automatically displays the cursor. 

index, color, wtm and b are the addresses of locations where the cursor variables are returned. 

The default is the glyph index 0 in the cursor table, displayed with the color 1, drawn in the first available bitplane, and automatically updated on each vertical retrace.  This routine is undefined in RGB mode.
