aa_init(3)		    Library Functions Manual		      aa_init(3)

NAME
     aa_init - open the output display for AA-lib.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <aalib.h>

     aa_context *aa_init
     (
	  const struct aa_driver *driver,
	  const struct aa_hardware_params *defparams,
	  const void *driverdata
     );

PARAMETERS
     const struct aa_driver *driver
	    Driver  you	 want  to use.	Available drivers are listed in the NULL
	    terminated aa_drivers array.

     const struct aa_hardware_params *defparams
	    Hardware parameters you want.  Use aa_defparams for default values.

     const void *driverdata
	    This pointer is passed dirrectly to driver	used  to  specify  addi-
	    tional driver dependent parameters.

DESCRIPTION
     This  is  the most primitive AA-lib initialization function.  Allows better
     control over the process than the easier to use aa_autoinit function.

     Every AA-lib program ought to have call  to  aa_parseoptions  before  first
     call to aa_init.

RETURNS
     Pointer to new AA-lib context or NULL if failed.
