{{fbdoc item="param"}}
	##//id//##
		The controller number to query.  The valid range is platform dependent.
	##//buttons//##
		A bit mask of ##XPAD_BUTTON_*## values.
	##//leftx//##, ##//lefty//##, ##//rightx//##, ##//righty//##
		Analog stick positions in the range ##-1.0## to ##1.0##.
	##//lefttrigger//##, ##//righttrigger//##
		Trigger positions in the range ##0.0## to ##1.0##.
	##//dpad//##
		A bit mask of ##XPAD_DPAD_*## values.

{{fbdoc item="ret"}}
	Returns one of the ##XPAD_STATUS_*## constants from ##fbgfx.bi##:
		- ##XPAD_STATUS_MISSING## (0)
		- ##XPAD_STATUS_CONNECTED## (1)
		- ##XPAD_STATUS_DISCONNECTED## (2)

{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	##**Getxpad**## provides a stable Xbox-style controller layout across supported backends.  It is separate from ##[[KeyPgGetjoystick|Getjoystick]]## because modern gamepads have a conventional button, trigger, stick, and d-pad shape that maps poorly to a generic axis list.

	The named ##XPAD_BUTTON_*##, ##XPAD_DPAD_*##, and ##XPAD_STATUS_*## constants are declared in ##fbgfx.bi## under the ##FB## namespace.  The function itself is an intrinsic and does not require an include file to call.
