GilRs abstract platform specific APIs to provide unified interfaces for working with gamepads. Additionally, library is trying to unify different devices, providing single controller layout.
The main repository for project is on GitLab but there is also GitHub mirror. If you want to contribute or have a question please use GitLab's issue tracker and pull requests not GitHub's.

```rust use gilrs::{Gilrs, Button};
let mut gilrs = Gilrs::new();
// Event loop loop { for (id, event) in gilrs.poll_events() { println!("New event from {}: {:?}", id, event); }
if gilrs.gamepad(0).is_btn_pressed(Button::South) {
println!("Name of gamepad 0: {}", gilrs.gamepad(0).name());
}
} ```

On Linux, GilRs read (and write, in case of force feedback) directly from appropriate
/dev/input/event* file. This mean that user have to have read and write access to this file.
On most distros it shouldn't be a problem, but if it is, you will have to create udev rule.
To build GilRs, you will need pkg-config and libudev .pc file. On some
distributions this file is packaged in separate archive (for example libudev-dev in Debian).
