|
.Em GLIDE-based software )
|
|
to access the device memory of the Voodoo Graphics and
|
|
VoodooII 3D accelerators created by
|
|
.Em 3Dfx, Inc .
|
|
This provides an interface
|
|
for applications based on the
|
|
.Em GLIDE API
|
|
or that simply use the API
|
|
provided by the linux
|
|
.Pa /dev/3dfx
|
|
