joystick_sethandler(3)	       Svgalib User Manual	  joystick_sethandler(3)

NAME
     joystick_sethandler,  joystick_setdefaulthandler  -  set the joystick event
     handler.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <vgajoystick.h>
     typedef void (*__joystick_handler) (int event, int number, char value,  int
     joydev);

     void joystick_sethandler(int joydev, __joystick_handler jh);
     void joystick_setdefaulthandler(int joydev);

DESCRIPTION
     By  default,  each call to joystick_init(3) enables the default handler for
     the opened joystick. This handler maintains a state table which can be read
     by   the	 joystick_getaxis(3),	 joystick_getbutton(3),    joystick_but-
     ton1|2|3|4(3),    joystick_getb1|2|3|4(3),   joystick_x|y|z(3)   and   joy-
     stick_getx|y|z(3) functions.

     If you define an own handler, the following parameters are passed:

	    event one of the following values:

		   JOY_EVENTBUTTONDOWN a button was pressed.

		   JOY_EVENTBUTTONUP a button was released.

		   JOY_EVENTAXIS the joystick position was changed.

		   All other values are reserved for future use.

	    number identifies the button or axis to which this event belongs.

	    value for axis events the new position in range -128 .. 127.See joy-
		   stick_getaxis(3) for further comments on the range.

	    joydev identifies the joystick affected (this allows to use one han-
		   dler for many joysticks).

     joydev = -1 modifies the event handler of all currently open  joystick  de-
     vices.

CAVEATS
     This  function  is  only available in ELF versions of svgalib. Due to back-
     wards 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-es-
     sen.de>. Part of the code is based  on  code  from  C.  Smith  and  Vojtech
     Pavlik.
