NAME

input_capabilities - query platform layer or target for input capabilities

SYNOPSIS

captbl, ident
input_capabilities( vid:fsrv )

DESCRIPTION

This function can be used to query the platform (default) or a frameserver (providing a valid fsrv argument) for its current set of input capabilities in terms of devices (both cases) and data types (frameserver only). The returned table is key indexed of booleans indicating whether the type is supported or not. A frameserver may update this mask for a segment at will. When the mask is changed, an "input_mask" event will be sent to the frameservers assigned event handler. This mask will be applied to samples provided through target_input . For the platform, the set may also change when devices are added and removed in response to a device appearing and removing. The set of provided or accepted devices may be zero, one or many of the following: "keyboard, "mouse", "game", "touch", "position", "orientation", "eyetracker". The set of accepted datatypes may be zero, one or many of the following: "analog", "digital", "translated", "touch", "eyes".

EXAMPLE

function input_capabilities0()


      for k,v in pairs(input_capabilities()) do


            print(k, v);


      end
end
