NAME
aa_init - open the output display for AA-lib.
SYNOPSIS
#include <aalib.h>
aa_context *aa_init
(
const struct aa_driver *driver,
const struct aa_hardware_params *defparams,
const void *driverdata
);
PARAMETERS
const struct aa_driver *driver
Driver you want to use. Available drivers are listed in the
NULL terminated aa_drivers array.
const struct aa_hardware_params *defparams
Hardware parameters you want. Use aa_defparams for default val-
ues.
const void *driverdata
This pointer is passed dirrectly to driver used to specify addi-
tional driver dependent parameters.
DESCRIPTION
This is the most primitive AA-lib initialization function. Allows bet-
ter control over the process than the easier to use aa_autoinit func-
tion.
Every AA-lib program ought to have call to aa_parseoptions before first
call to aa_init.
RETURNS
Pointer to new AA-lib context or NULL if failed.
