NAME
libgamepad - Game controller library
DESCRIPTION
libgamepad is a C library that implements game controller
support. libgamepad implements not only reading input and
applying force feedback, but also provides controller
information such as layout details, canonical button names,
button icons, button colours, and conformity to well known
controller schemes. It also applies fixes such as remapping
buttons and axes, removing non-existent ones, correcting
axis information, and applying calibrations. It even lets
you implement userspace drivers (however input reading only)
if kernel drivers are missing or lacking, as long as a
hidraw input device is available.
Games for video gaming consoles know in advance how the
game controller is supposed to look for the platform it is
running on, but on PCs it does not have any information,
and can therefore not display an image of your controller,
tell you the names or colours, or display icons, for which
buttons to press. libgamepad aims to solve this, and make
controllers appear almost as native to PCs as to video
gaming consoles.
