getmodename

---

Syntax

#include <graphics.h>

char *getmodename(int mode_number);

Description

getmodename accepts a graphics mode number as input and returns a string containing the name of the corresponding graphics mode. The mode names are embedded in each driver. The return values ("320*200 CGA P1," "640*200 CGA", and so on) are useful for building menus or displaying status.

Return Value

getmodename returns a pointer to a string with the name of the graphics mode.
