library to control a joystick on linux

[dire snow]

does anyone know a library that allows you to write joystick inputs on linux? I want another analog input and I have a plan, but I cannot find a library. Any ideas?

SDL2 https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/b5246571189ee80263a3f498ae9aeaf34e64a93b/test/testgamecontroller.c

where exactly? All I'm seeing there is that the controller buttons are being read and something is being rendered as a result. I checked SDL just before posting this and it doesn't seem to support manually creating inputs

sdl references a generic joystic/gamepad by placing the SDL keycodes, and it accepts which ever keycodes you assign.

I'm trying to control a joystick like I mentioned in my post. I don't want to read it, at all.

i misunderstood. you need a TAS tool https://github.com/fullmoonissue/tas-scaffolding

that is also not what I'm searching for. Firstly it seems to be tailored towards a certain tool, and secondly it's using lua, not c++

seems solved for now
