gettextinfo

raw OCR

Gets text mode video information.

Defined in header <conio.h>

Syntax

#include <conio.h>
void gettextinfo(struct textinfo *r);

Portability

Remarks

gettextinfo fills in the text_info structure pointed to by r with the current text video information.

The text info structure is defined in conio.h as follows:

struct text_info {

unsigned char winleft;/left window coordinate */
unsigned char wintop;/top window coordinate */
unsigned char winright;/right window coordinate */
unsigned char winbottom;/bottom window coordinate */
unsigned char attribute;/text attribute */
unsigned char normattr;/normal attribute */
unsigned char currmode;/BW40, BW80, C40, C80, or C4350
unsigned char screenheight;/text screen's height */
unsigned char screenwidth;/text screen's width */
unsigned char curx;/x-coordinate in current window
unsigned char cury; };/y-coordinate in current window

Return value

gettextinfo returns nothing; the results are returned in the structure pointed to by r.
