.SH NAME
vga_norevokeprivs \- Keep root privileges if run as suid root.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "#include <vga.h>"
.BI "int vga_norevokeprivs(void);"
.SH DESCRIPTION
Calling this function prevents svgalib from revoking root privileges and
returning to the uid of the user running the program. Usually svgalib revokes
privileges at
.BR vga_init (3)
time, so
.B vga_norevokeprivs
needs to be called before
.B vga_init .
