The command qjoypad --update is used to update the qjoypad configuration.

QJoyPad is a program that allows you to use your joystick or gamepad as a keyboard or mouse input device in Linux. It maps the buttons and axes of your input device to keyboard keys or mouse movements, allowing you to control applications or games that do not natively support joystick input.

The --update option is used to update the qjoypad configuration. This command can be useful when you have made changes to your joystick or gamepad input device and want to apply those changes to the qjoypad configuration.

By running qjoypad --update, you are essentially refreshing the qjoypad configuration to reflect any changes you have made to your input device, ensuring that the mapping of buttons and axes to keyboard keys or mouse movements remains accurate.
