+.SH NAME
+joystick_getnumaxes, joystick_getnumbuttons \- query the capabilities of a joystick
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.B "#include <vgajoystick.h>"
+
+.BI "char joystick_getnumaxes(int " joydev );
+.br
+.BI "char joystick_getnumbuttons(int " joydev );
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+queries the number of axes (number of continuous ranges which the joystick allows to choose
+from) and buttons. The old version 0.* joystick protocol reports 2 axes (x and y) and 4 buttons
+although the actual joystick will usually have less (often two) buttons.
+
+svgalib supports up to 127 axes and buttons, provided the underlying device driver does it.
+
+.SH CAVEATS
+This function is only available in ELF versions of svgalib. Due to backwards
+compatibility issues it cannot be used with shared a.out libs.
