NAME
vga_getdefaultmode - returns the default graphics mode number
SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h>
int vga_getdefaultmode(void);
DESCRIPTION
Returns the default graphics mode number from the SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE
environment variable; -1 if undefined. The environment variable can
either be a mode number or a mode name. See vga_setmode(3) for a list
of predefined return values and their meaning. The mode names which can
be used in the environment are those used by vga_getmodename(3) and
vga_getmodenumber(3).
Whenever your application has no special need for a given mode you
should always try to honour this setting for consistency among svgalib
applications.
