al_install_haptic(3)	   Library Functions Manual	  al_install_haptic(3)

NAME
       al_install_haptic - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS
	      #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

	      bool al_install_haptic(void)

DESCRIPTION
       Installs	 the  haptic  (force feedback) device subsystem.  This must be
       called before using any other haptic-related functions.	 Returns  true
       if  the haptics subsystem could be initialized correctly, false in case
       of error.

       For portability you should first	open a display before  calling	al_in-
       stall_haptic(3).	 On some platforms, such as DirectInput	under Windows,
       al_install_haptic(3)  will  only	work if	at least one active display is
       available.  This	display	must stay  available  until  al_uninstall_hap-
       tic(3) is called.

       If  you	need to	close and reopen your active display for example, then
       you should call al_uninstall_haptic(3) before closing the display,  and
       al_install_haptic(3) after opening it again.

SINCE
       5.1.8

	      [Unstable	 API]: Perhaps could be	simplified due to limited sup-
	      port for all the exposed features	across all of  the  platforms.
	      Awaiting feedback	from users.
