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 hap-
     tics 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_haptic(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_in-
     stall_haptic(3) after opening it again.

SINCE
     5.1.8

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