## Member Function Documentation

### `[deprecated]` QBitmap QCursor::bitmap(Qt::ReturnByValueConstant) const

This function is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use the overload without argument instead.

Returns the cursor bitmap, or a null bitmap if it is one of the standard cursors.

Previously, Qt provided a version of `bitmap()` which returned the bitmap by-pointer. That version is now removed. To maintain compatibility with old code, this function was provided to differentiate between the by-pointer function and the by-value function.

### `[deprecated]` QBitmap QCursor::mask(Qt::ReturnByValueConstant) const

This function is deprecated. We strongly advise against using it in new code.

Use the overload without argument instead.

Returns the cursor bitmap mask, or a null bitmap if it is one of the standard cursors.

Previously, Qt provided a version of `mask()` which returned the bitmap by-pointer. That version is now removed. To maintain compatibility with old code, this function was provided to differentiate between the by-pointer function and the by-value function.
