joytest(3) Svgalib User Manual joytest(3)NAMEjoytest - test the svgalib joystick package in text mode
SYNOPSISjoytest 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.
