delta/libevdev.git/libevdev/libevdev-uinput-int.h, branch libevdev-1.2 gitlab.freedesktop.org: libevdev/libevdev.git Add support for uinput device creation 2013-08-29T03:54:46+00:00 Peter Hutterer peter.hutterer@who-t.net 2013-07-25T05:56:11+00:00 1acbfb35799485326f5d76280282f320828aec38 This lets libevdev provide a relatively generic interface for the creation of uinput devices so we don't need to duplicate this across multiple projects. Most of this is lifted from the current test implementation, with a couple of minor changes. EV_REP needs special handling: Kernel allows to set the EV_REP bit, it doesn't set REP_* bits (which we wrap anyway) but it will also set the default values (500, 33). Device node is guessed based on the sysfs path: The sysfs path contains a eventN file, that corresponds to our /dev/input/eventN number. Use it so clients can quickly get the device node, without a libudev dependency. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
