giiqueryvalinfo

giiQueryValInfo(3)							GGI							giiQueryValInfo(3)

NAME

       giiQueryValInfo - Get data about valuators

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ggi/gii.h>

       int giiQueryValInfo(gii_input_t inp, uint32_t origin,
			   uint32_t valnumber, gii_cmddata_getvalinfo *info);

DESCRIPTION

       Though  when  using  GII inputs the exact type of device is fully transparent to the program, information about the device that is actually
       attached to a given gii input and origin id can be queried, e.g. for configuration interfaces.

       For giiQueryValInfo is used on devices, where giiQueryDeviceInfo(3) has indicated that the device has one or more  valuator  axes  and  you
       want  to gather additional info about the physical equivalent of each axis.The parameters inp and origin select the input to query and val-
       number selects the specific valuator (an input can have multiple valuators).

       The queried data is put into info.  See gii_cmddata_getvalinfo(3) for the description of the structure.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 on success (info is valid, then) or -1 otherwise.
