NAME

       vga_getpixel - get a pixels value from the screen

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vga.h>

       int vga_getpixel(int x, int y);

DESCRIPTION

       Read a pixels value from the screen. This function is very inefficient,
       you  should  consider  doing  direct  screen  access  instead  or   use
       vga_getscansegment(3) to handle more than one pixel.

       the original documentation is unknown.

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