Erik Heckers fixed bug #493
Searching the installed man pages for SDL functions fails, e.g.
man -k SDL_ |grep Video
After investigating this I found that "makewhatis", the tool that generates
the "whatis" database, reads the SDL_* man pages, but doesn't produce
entries in the "whatis" database for the SDL_* man pages.
After some more debugging I found the reason is a missing space.
After editing SDL_Init.3(.gz) and replacing
SDL_Init\- Initializes SDL
with
SDL_Init \- Initializes SDL
everything works fine.
After running "makewhatis" I can successfully do a
man -k SDL_
and SDL_Init is listed in the output.

The value returned by \fBSDL_JoystickGetAxis\fP is a signed integer (-32768 to 32768) representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR, it maybe necessary to impose certain tolerances on these values to account for jitter\&. It is worth noting that some joysticks use axes 2 and 3 for extra buttons\&. .SH "RETURN VALUE" .PP Returns a 16-bit signed integer representing the current position of the \fBaxis\fR\&. .SH "EXAMPLES" .PP .PP .nf \f(CWSint16 x_move, y_move; SDL_Joystick *joy1; \&. \&. x_move=SDL_JoystickGetAxis(joy1, 0); y_move=SDL_JoystickGetAxis(joy1, 1);\fR .fi .PP .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fI\fBSDL_JoystickNumAxes\fP\fR ...\" created by instant / docbook-to-man, Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:00
