aa_initmouse(3)

💖 aa_initmouse — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this one's from the Library Functions Manual and it's called aa_initmouse(3), and no cap it is THE way to spin up a mouse driver in AA-lib when you wanna be all hands-on about it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_initmouse — initialize the AA-lib mouse driver. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it beautifully. 🐭💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <aalib.h>

int aa_initmouse
(
     struct aa_context *c,
     const struct aa_mousedriver *d,
     int mode
);

like look at her. three little arguments. so clean. 🫶

✨ PARAMETERS ✨

• struct aa_context *c — the AA-lib context you wanna operate on. this is your whole entire world as far as AA-lib is concerned, so hand her over. 🫴
• const struct aa_mousedriver *d — the driver you wish to use. you pick it, you pass it, no guessing games. 🎯
• int mode — a mask of extra features you're requesting. and here's the tea: no such features are available in the current AA-lib version. so like… it's a vibe, but it's an empty vibe. 💀 pass what you want bestie, there's nothing on the menu.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so real talk: this is the most primitive AA-lib keyboard initialization function — yes, the manpage says keyboard even though this is the mouse one, we don't make the rules, we just report them faithfully. 🙈

the whole point is that it gives you better control over the process than the easier-to-use aa_autoinitmouse does. so if you want to be the main character who micromanages every little thing, this is your function. if you want the chill autopilot version, go say hi to aa_autoinitmouse instead. 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

• 1 on success 🎉
• 0 on fail 😭

that's it. binary. iconic behavior honestly.
