## Name

glutDeviceGet — retrieves GLUT device information represented by integers.

## C Specification

`int `glutDeviceGet`` | `(` | `GLenum `info`);`

## Python Specification

``glutDeviceGet`` | `(` | ``info`) → `None``

## Parameters

`info`

  Name of device information to retrieve.

  `GLUT_HAS_KEYBOARD`
    Non-zero if a keyboard is available; zero if not available. For most GLUT implementations, a keyboard can be assumed.
  `GLUT_HAS_MOUSE`
    Non-zero if a mouse is available; zero if not available. For most GLUT implementations, a keyboard can be assumed.
  `GLUT_HAS_SPACEBALL`
    Non-zero if a Spaceball is available; zero if not available.
  `GLUT_HAS_DIAL_AND_BUTTON_BOX`
    Non-zero if a dial & button box is available; zero if not available.
  `GLUT_HAS_TABLET`
    Non-zero if a tablet is available; zero if not available.
  `GLUT_NUM_MOUSE_BUTTONS`
    Number of buttons supported by the mouse. If no mouse is supported, zero is returned.
  `GLUT_NUM_SPACEBALL_BUTTONS`
    Number of buttons supported by the Spaceball. If no Spaceball is supported, zero is returned.
  `GLUT_NUM_BUTTON_BOX_BUTTONS`
    Number of buttons supported by the dial & button box device. If no dials & button box device is supported, zero is returned.
  `GLUT_NUM_DIALS`
    Number of dials supported by the dial & button box device. If no dials & button box device is supported, zero is returned.
  `GLUT_NUM_TABLET_BUTTONS`
    Number of buttons supported by the tablet. If no tablet is supported, zero is returned.
  `GLUT_DEVICE_IGNORE_KEY_REPEAT`
    Returns true if the current window's auto repeated keys are ignored. This state is controlled by `glutIgnoreKeyRepeat`.
  `GLUT_DEVICE_KEY_REPEAT`
    The window system's global key repeat state. Returns either `GLUT_KEY_REPEAT_OFF`, `GLUT_KEY_REPEAT_ON`, or `GLUT_KEY_REPEAT_DEFAULT`. This will not necessarily return the value last passed to `glutSetKeyRepeat`.
  `GLUT_JOYSTICK_POLL_RATE`
    Returns the current window's joystick poll rate as set by `glutJoystickFunc`. If no joystick is supported, the poll rate will always be zero. The joystick poll rate also returns zero if the poll rate last specified to `glutJoystickFunc` is negative or a `NULL` callback was registered.
  `GLUT_HAS_JOYSTICK`
    Non-zero if a joystick is available; zero if not available.
  `GLUT_JOYSTICK_BUTTONS`
    Number of buttons supported by the joystick. If no joystick is supported, zero is returned.
  `GLUT_JOYSTICK_AXES`
    Number of axes supported by the joystick. If no joystick is supposrted, zero is returned.

## Description

`glutDeviceGet` retrieves GLUT device information represented by integers. The info parameter determines what type of device information to return. Requesting device information for an invalid GLUT device information name returns negative one.

## X Implementation Notes

The current implementation uses to X Input extension to regonize SGI's Spaceball, tablet, and dial and button box devices.

## Win32 Implementation Notes

The `GLUT_DEVICE_KEY_REPEAT` always returns `GLUT_KEY_REPEAT_ON`.
