module: [kind=event] mouse_click
---

This event is fired when the terminal is clicked with a mouse. This event is only fired on advanced computers (including
advanced turtles and pocket computers).

## Return values
1. @{string}: The event name.
2. @{number}: The mouse button that was clicked.
3. @{number}: The X-coordinate of the click.
4. @{number}: The Y-coordinate of the click.

## Mouse buttons
Several mouse events (@{mouse_click}, @{mouse_up}, @{mouse_scroll}) contain a "mouse button" code. This takes a
numerical value depending on which button on your mouse was last pressed when this event occurred.

| Button Code | Mouse Button  |
|------------:|---------------|
|           1 | Left button   |
|           2 | Right button  |
|           3 | Middle button |

## Example
Print the button and the coordinates whenever the mouse is clicked.

```lua
while true do
  local event, button, x, y = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
  print(("The mouse button %s was pressed at %d, %d"):format(button, x, y))
end
```
