joytest(3)		      Svgalib User Manual		    joytest(3)

NAME
       joytest - test the svgalib joystick package in text mode

SYNOPSIS
       joytest number

DESCRIPTION
       This  demo program tries to open the joystick with the given number and
       calibrates it. The user is prompted to press <Return> after  which  any
       state change of the joystick is reported until the program is killed.

       This  demo  is part of svgalib and can be found in the demos/ subdirec‐
       tory of the original svgalib distribution. However, it is not installed
       in  the	system by default, s.t. it is unclear where you can find it if
       your svgalib was installed by some linux distribution. Even then,  when
       you  have  the demo on your system, you probably won't have the sources
       s.t. it is only of limited use for you.

       In case of any such problem, simply get an  svgalib  distribution  from
       the  net.  You  even  don't need to install it. Just make in the demos/
       subdirecty. As of this writing, svgalib-1.3.0.tar.gz is the latest ver‐
       sion   and   can	  be   retrieved   by	ftp  from  sunsite.unc.edu  at
       /pub/Linux/libs/graphics and tsx-11.mit.edu at  /pub/linux/sources/libs
       which will most probably be mirrored by a site close to you.

CAVEATS
       The  functions  used by this demo are only available in ELF versions of
       svgalib. Due to backwards compatibility issues it cannot be  used  with
       shared a.out libs.

AUTHOR
       The  svgalib  joystick  handler	was  mostly  done by Daniel Engstr\"om
       <daniel.engstrom@riksnett.no>.  Multiple joystick, VC switching support
       and  code  to  glue  it	into  svgalib  by  Michael Weller <eowmob@exp-
       math.uni-essen.de>. Part of the code is based on code from C. Smith and
       Vojtech Pavlik.
