NAME
vga_getpalvec - gets colors from the color lookup table
SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h>
int vga_getpalvec(int start, int num, int *pal);
DESCRIPTION
Gets the num colors starting with index start from the color lookup
table and stores the RGB values in *pal. *pal contains 3 * num integers
which are the color values from first to last palette entry in the
order red, green, blue (always three consecutive entries in *pal built
a palette entry.
Each color entry is in range 0 - 63. This function is only sensible in
16 or 256 color modes. It shows which color all vga_setcolor(start)
(and num - 1 following colors) drawn pixels will actually refer to.
If the VGA_CLUT8 feature is set for the current mode with
vga_ext_set(3) the red, green, and blue values are in the range 0 -
255.
The function returns the value of num.
