.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The joystick device driver allows applications to read the status of
|
|
|
|
|
the PC joystick.

The joystick status is get in an structure joystick via a read()
|
|
|
|
|
call. The structure is defined in the header file as follows:

struct joystick {
|
|
|
|
|
int x; /* x position */
|
|
|
|
|
int y; /* y position */
|
|
|
|
|
int b1; /* button 1 status */
|
|
|
|

Set the time limit (in microseconds) for reading the joystick

|
|
|
status. Setting a value
|
|
|
|
|
too small may prevent to get correct values for the positions (which

|

are then set to -2147483648), however this can be useful if one is
|
|
|
|
|
only interested by the buttons status.
