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  additional  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.
