LIBXWIIMOTE(7)

💖 LIBXWIIMOTE 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for libxwiimote — the Wii Remote Driver's very own user-space library. yeah. we're doing Wii Remotes in ${CURRENT_YEAR}. it's giving retro icon energy and honestly? we ate. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

libxwiimote — the XWiimote user-space library, aka the lil bestie that lets your program talk to Wii Remotes directly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <xwiimote.h>

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one include and you're in. 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the xwiimote library is a helper-library whose whole job is managing connected Wii Remotes from user-space. Like, if you're writing an app that wants to support Wii Remotes as input devices, but you literally cannot rely on X or the kernel to hand you a suitable input device — say, because you need finer grained access — then boom, this library is your girl. use it to access Wii Remotes. periodt. ✨

This library gives you a simple, but still comprehensive, API to access connected Wii Remotes. no cap. The thing is, the API documentation is still in process 😭 (it's giving "work in progress, be patient bestie"). So please go read the tools in xwiimote/tools/ or the header in xwiimote/lib/xwiimote.h for the info on the API. iykyk. 🔥

fr fr, the header file is your best friend here. go say hi to it.

💀 BUGS 💀

Not me having to tell you this, but: the library does not support all Wii Remote peripherals yet. 🙈 like, some of them are just out here unhandled.

Please consider contributing to the project if you need further functionality. genuinely, we'd be obsessed. 🫶
