mouse(7)                       DG/UX R4.11MU05                      mouse(7)


NAME
       mouse - mouse device

DESCRIPTION
       88K Platform

       On the 88k platform the mouse character special file provides access
       to the systems mouse port.  Support for the mouse device is provided
       by the duart(7) device driver.  Any operation that is available to
       duart(7) can be performed to the mouse device.  The /dev/mouse
       character special file presents a streams interface.

       Intel Platform

       On the Intel platform the mouse device is an integrated IBM PS2
       compatible pointing device.

       To configure a mouse device, you must add a device name entry of the
       form described in the synopsis above to the DG/UX system
       configuration file.

       The device is accessed using the standard open, close, read, and
       select system calls.  The device does not support the write and ioctl
       system calls.

       The open system call provides a handle to access the mouse.

       The close system call frees the handle to the mouse established by
       open.

       The read system call transfers data from the mouse to the user
       program.

       The select system call behaves the same as for termio(7) devices.
