API Functions
aaEnPeriodicEvent
aaEnPeriodicEvent
Enables or disables dispatching of the periodic event
function.
aaEnPeriodicEvent(State)
int State
TRUE

The periodic event function is called 274 times a
second. Once installed, the periodic event function is
not dispatched until it is enabled with the
aaEnPeriodicEvent() function. The aaEnPeriodicEvent()
function can also be used to disable dispatching of the
periodic event function.
The event function must be installed with
aaInstallPeriodicEvent() before enabling dispatching.

aaExit
Performs cleanup when exiting from an application
program.
aaExit()
void
This function does cleanup tasks required when
exiting from an application, such as halting controller
interrupts and restoring the
IRQ
vector used by the
controller.
Once aaInit() has been called, aaExit() must be called
before exiting the application program.
If the application program can be exited using the
CTRL+C
or
CTRL+BREAK
keys, then the default
DOS
CTRL+C
handler must be replaced with a handler that
calls aaExit(). You can use the aaInstallCtrlCHandler()
function for this purpose.
