RETROARCH-JOYCONFIG(1)            System Manager's Manual: retroarch-joyconfig

NAME
       retroarch-joyconfig - Tool to configure joypad bindings for retroarch.

SYNOPSIS
       retroarch-joyconfig [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION
       retroarch-joyconfig is a simple tool that allows updating or creating a
       configuration file for retroarch.  It reads in necessary joypad
       bindings for a certain user and joypad.

EXAMPLE COMMANDLINES
       Configure joypad for user 1, using first joypad. Configuration is
       dumped to a file.
              retroarch-joyconfig -p 1 -j 0 -o inputconfig.cfg

       Configure joypad for user 1, using first joypad. Update retroarch.cfg
       directly.
              retroarch-joyconfig -p 1 -j 0 -i retroarch.cfg -o retroarch.cfg

       Configure joypad for user 1, using first joypad. Configuration is
       dumped to stdout.
              retroarch-joyconfig -p 1 -j 0

       Create an autoconfig file using first joypad.
              retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 -a
              ~/.config/retroarch/autoconfig/pad.cfg

GENERAL OPTIONS
       --player PLAYER, -p PLAYER
              Configuration will be done for the user PLAYER. This can be from
              1 up to and including 5 (multitap).  Default is configuration
              for user 1.

       --joypad PAD, -j PAD
              Which joypad to use when configuring. Use a numeric indexing.
              Default here is 0 (first joypad).

       --driver DRIVER, -d DRIVER
              Uses a particular joypad driver instead of the first available
              one.

       --input PATH, -i PATH
              Use config file found in PATH as a base. Old configuration
              values can be overwritten by new values when configuring binds.
              If not used, an empty config file will be used as a base. Using
              this option only does not update the file found in PATH.

       --output PATH, -o PATH
              Writes the final config to a file, rather than stdout. If -i and
              -o point to the same file, the file found in PATH will simply be
              updated with the new configs.

       -a PATH, --autoconfig PATH
              Also writes an autoconfigure file for the joypad which was
              configured. It can be used by RetroArch to automatically
              configure a joypad when it's plugged in.

       --misc, -m
              Also configure some binds that aren't directly related to
              RetroPad, such as save states, menu toggle, etc.  Only
              configures some of the most useful binds.

       --allmisc, -M
              Same as --misc, but goes through every bind available (40+).
              Very exhaustive.

       -t SECONDS, --timeout SECONDS
              Adds a timeout of N seconds to each bind. If timed out, the bind
              will not be used.

       --help, -h
              Prints help message.
