tools: add a libinput-replay tool Similar in style to evemu-play but parses the YAML printed by libinput-record. Note that this tool requires python-libevdev which is a new package and may not be packaged by your distribution. Install with pip3 or alternatively, just ignore libinput-replay, it's a developer tool only anyway. User-visible differences to evemu-play: * supports replaying multiple devices at the same time. * no replaying on a specific device, we can add this if we ever need it * --verbose prints the event to stdout as we are replaying them. This is particularly useful on long recordings - once the bug occurs we can ctrl+c and match up the last few lines with the recordings file. This allows us to e.g. drop the rest of the file.

.TH libinput-replay "1"
.SH NAME
libinput\-replay \- replay kernel events from a recording
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B libinput replay [options] \fIrecording\fB
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBlibinput replay\fR tool replays kernel events from a device recording
made by the \fBlibinput record(1)\fR tool. This tool needs to run as root to
create a device and/or replay events.
.PP
If the recording contains more than one device, all devices are replayed
simultaneously.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 8
.B \-\-help
Print help
tools: add --replay-after and --once to libinput replay For the cases where it's not possible to hit enter to start the replay because e.g. we cannot change focus, etc. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

.TP 8
.B \-\-once
Only replay the recording once, then exit.
.TP 8
.B \-\-replay-after=s
Replay the recording after waiting for s seconds. This replaces the default
interactive prompt to start the replay.

.SH NOTES
.PP
This tool replays events from a recording through the the kernel and is
independent of libinput. In other words, updating or otherwise changing
libinput will not alter the output from this tool. libinput itself does not
need to be in use to replay events.
tools/replay: do not replay key repeat events The kernel emulates key events on its own anyway, replaying key events with libinput replay as well just duplicates the events. Turning kernel repeat off is not an option, it makes the device look different (EV_REP changes). So let's just not replay those events. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
2021-05-17 16:09:35 +10:00
.PP
This tool does not replay kernel-emulated key repeat events (events of type
\fIEV_KEY\fR with a value of 2).
