SYNOPSIS

12       int poll_joystick();

DESCRIPTION

15       The  joystick handler is not interrupt driven, so you need to call this
16       function every now and again to  update  the  global  position  values.
17       Example:
18
19          do {
20             /* Get joystick input */
21             poll_joystick();
22
23             /* Process input for the first joystick */
24             if (joy[0].button[0].b)
25                first_button_pressed();
26
27             if (joy[0].button[1].b)
28                second_button_pressed();
29             ...
30          } while(!done);
31

RETURN VALUE

33       Returns  zero  on  success  or  a  negative  number on failure (usually
34       because no joystick driver was installed).
