NAME

       libgii - A flexible library for input handling

DESCRIPTION

       LibGII  is  an  input library developed by the GGI Project.  Its design
       philosophy is similar to LibGGI,  which  deals  with  graphics  output.
       LibGII  is  based  on  the  concept  of input streams, which virtualize
       access to the underlying  input  drivers.  Events  from  various  input
       devices  are abstracted into easy-to-use structures. LibGII also allows
       the application to join  streams  together,  receiving  input  from  an
       arbitrary combination of devices.

       LibGII  is a separate component from LibGGI, although LibGGI depends on
       LibGII for  input  purposes.   (LibGGI’s  input  functions  are  simply
       wrappers for LibGII functions.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The  following  outlines  the  environment  variables, intended for the
       user, which affect the behaviour of LibGII:

       GII_INPUT
              The  default  input  source(s)  and/or  filter(s)  to  use  when
              giiOpen()  is  called  with  a  NULL  argument.   The format is:
              input:inputargs.  Multiple  inputs  can  be  specified  by  this
              notation: (i1):(i2) ....
              Note:  This setting does not affect LibGGI visuals automatically
              opening inputs. Use the GGI_INPUTx variable instead.

       GII_DEBUG
              The debug level for LibGII:

              ·   0 or unset : debug output is off; debugging is off

              ·   255 : all debug output is on

              You may also bitwise ’or’ any of the following together:

              ·   2   : debug core

              ·   32  : misc debugging output

              ·   64  : debug dynamic library handling

              ·   128 : debug event handling

       GII_DEBUGSYNC
              Turn on synchronous debug output, flushing  the  output  buffers
              before returning from DPRINT calls.

       GII_CONFDIR
              Override  compiled-in  path  to global config files (Win32 only,
              but not Cygwin).

       Other  environment  variables  specific  to  filters  and  inputs   are
       documented in the corresponding manual page.
