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> |

libevdev - wrapper library for evdev input devices
libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. it moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc.
git://git.freedesktop.org/git/libevdev http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libevdev/
libevdev is currently in early stages of development. Use at your own risk
The eventual goal is that libevdev wraps all ioctls available to evdev devices, thus making direct access unnecessary.
