JS_DEMO(1)

πŸ’– JS_DEMO(1) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the js_demo page from the FlightGear man pages β€” yes she's section 1, yes she's iconic, let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

js_demo β€” the Joystick demo application for FlightGear πŸ•ΉοΈβœ¨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

js_demo

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. no flags, no arguments, she just goes πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so js_demo is a FlightGear utility, and her whole job is literally two things and she eats at both of them:

  • she shows you the joysticks she detected πŸ‘€ β€” like, "hi, here's what I found plugged in"
  • and she gives you a way to monitor them β€” so when you move the axes or press the buttons, you can actually see it happening in real time πŸ“ˆπŸ”₯

it's giving "plug it in and wiggle stuff and watch the numbers dance". main character energy fr fr 🫢


πŸ’€ EXIT STATUS πŸ’€

ngl this is the most chill part of the whole page:

js_demo always exits with 0 ⭐

always. every time. no drama, no error codes, no plot twists. she leaves the party politely and the status is 0, periodt πŸ‘‘


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

go check out her friends and her lore, bestie:

  • fgfs(1) β€” the big one, the actual flight sim πŸ‘‘
  • the FlightGear wiki "Input device" page β€” your homework for joystick-related situations iykyk πŸ“šβœ¨

🌈 reminder: this page lives in section 1 of the FlightGear man pages, so if you were looking for a different js_demo, this is the joystick one, not a lookalike πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole vibe πŸ“ β€” this little cutie came to you courtesy of FlightGear, dated 2017-03-04, and she's filed under JS_DEMO(1) forever and ever. go wiggle a joystick for me, ily, bye πŸ’–πŸ§šπŸŒΈ
