.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The joystick device driver allows applications to read the status of
|
|
|
|
the PC joystick.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
This device may be opened by only one process at a time.

|
The joystick status is read from a structure via a read()
|
2000-03-03 14:05:08 +00:00
|
|
|
call.
|
|
|
|
The structure is defined in the header file as follows:
