highvideo

Selects high-intensity characters.

Defined in header <conio.h>

Syntax

#include <conio.h>
void highvideo (void);

Portability

Remarks

highvideo selects high-intensity characters by setting the high-intensity bit of the currently selected foreground color.

This function does not affect any characters currently on the screen, but does affect those displayed by functions (such as cprintf) that perform direct video, text mode output after highvideo is called.

Return value

None.
