libx52_init(3) -- Initialize libx52
===================================

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <libx52.h>`

`libx52_device * libx52_init(void)`

## DESCRIPTION

`libx52_init()` initializes the libx52 library, sets up any internal data
structures to access the X52 Pro joystick and returns a *libx52_device* pointer.

If no joystick is found `libx52_init()` returns _NULL_.

## LIMITATIONS

`libx52_init()` currently only recognizes the Saitek X52 Pro, not the original
Saitek X52.

`libx52_init()` does not support hotplugging. The joystick must be plugged in
before calling this function.
