SDL_InitSubSystem - Initialize subsystems

#include “SDL.h”

int SDL_InitSubSystem*(*Uint32 flags);

After SDL has been initialized with SDL_Init you may initialize uninitialized subsystems with SDL_InitSubSystem. The flags parameter is the same as that used in SDL_Init.

  /* Seperating Joystick and Video initialization. */
  SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
  .
  .
  SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 16, SDL_DOUBLEBUF|SDL_FULLSCREEN);
  .
  /* Do Some Video stuff */
  .
  .
  /* Initialize the joystick subsystem */
  SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK);

  /* Do some stuff with video and joystick */
  .
  .
  .
  /* Shut them both down */
  SDL_Quit();

Returns -1 on an error or 0 on success.
