aa_initkbd(3)

💖 aa_initkbd — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual entry for aa_initkbd(3) 🎀. it's giving "old-school C library lore" and honestly? we're obsessed. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

aa_initkbd — spin up the AA-lib keyboard driver. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <aalib.h>

int aa_initkbd
(
     struct aa_context *context,
     const struct aa_kbddriver *drv,
     int mode
);

💜 PARAMETERS 💜

• struct aa_context *context — the AA-lib context you want to operate on. like, which little universe are we doing this in? that one 🌈
• const struct aa_kbddriver *drv — the driver you wish to use. pick your fighter 👑
• int mode — a mask of extra features you're requesting. it can contain AA_SENDRELEASE if you're also interested in release events too (as in, when a key goes up and not just when it goes down). so if you're nosy about releases, that's your flag 🍓

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so here's the tea: this is the most primitive AA-lib keyboard initialization function. literally the bare-bones, low-level, no-frills entry point 😤.

but that's not a drag, bestie — it's a feature. it allows better control over the process than the easier-to-use aa_autoinitkbd function. aa_autoinitkbd is the friend who just orders for the table; aa_initkbd is you, reading the whole menu and choosing deliberately. main character energy, no cap 💅✨

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

• 1 on success 🎉
• 0 on fail 😭

that's it. binary. iconic. periodt.
