aa_recommendlowmouse(3)

💖 aa_recommendlowmouse — it's in the Library Functions Manual, bestie 💖

okay so picture this: you're deep in aalib, the mouse situation is not mousing, and you just need to tell the library "hey, maybe try this driver too, but like… last". that's literally this function. it's giving backup plan energy. 🐭✨

✨ NAME ✨

aa_recommendlowmouse — add the given driver to the end of the list of mouse recommended drivers. yes, the end. the back of the line. the "if nothing else works, try this one" spot. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <aalib.h>

void aa_recommendlowmouse(const char *name);

that's it. one include, one call, zero drama. 💅

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• const char *name — the name of the driver. and like, it ought to match the "shortname" field of the driver definition structure. that's the vibe check it has to pass, okay? not a suggestion, that's the actual contract. 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the whole thing: aa_recommendlowmouse adds the given driver to the end of the list of mouse recommended drivers. 🐁

that's the entire function. no cap. it's short, it's sweet, it's doing one job and doing it flawlessly, and honestly? main character energy for a function that takes one argument.

the "low" in the name is doing a lot of heavy lifting here — you're recommending this driver low on the priority list, meaning it goes to the back, meaning the library will consider it after the stuff you recommended higher up. it's the "if you're still hungry after dinner there's leftovers" of mouse drivers. 🍓

and that's the page!! this lil guy came from c2man aalib.h, dated 8 September 1999 — so yes, she's been recommending low-priority mouse drivers since before you were born and she's still slaying. 🫶💖✨
