NAME

       vga_setflipchar - set the character causing a vga_flip()

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       int vga_setflipchar(int c);

DESCRIPTION

       This  sets  the  ASCII  code  of  the  key which causes vga_getch(3) to
       shortly switch between graphics  and  text  mode  when  waiting  for  a
       keypress.  <ESC> is the default at startup.

       Because  one  can  now  swicth  directly  between consoles even when in
       graphics modes and the use of vga_flip(3)  is  discouraged  except  for
       debugging, this function is just there for vgalib compatibility but has
       no effect!

       the original documentation is unknown.

       It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm

       Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused  by  the
