ncurses_mousemask — Sets mouse options
Description
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.
Sets mouse events to be reported. By default no mouse events will be reported.
Mouse events are represented by NCURSES_KEY_MOUSE in the ncurses_wgetch() input stream. To read the event data and pop the event of queue, call ncurses_getmouse().
Parameters

- oldmask
-
This will be set to the previous value of the mouse event mask.
Return Values
Returns a mask to indicated which of the in parameter newmask specified mouse events can be reported. On complete failure, it returns 0.
