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.

       Vojtech Pavlik.
