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 values.

const void *driverdata

This pointer is passed dirrectly to driver used to specify additional driver dependent parameters.

DESCRIPTION

This is the most primitive AA-lib initialization function. Allows better control over the process than the easier to use aa_autoinit function.

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.
