.TH libinput-measure "1" "" "libinput @LIBINPUT_VERSION@" "libinput Manual"
tools: add "libinput measure touchpad-tap" This is the first tool of many more to come to enable users to gather information aobut their devices and/or usage of these devices. Previously, these required the users to record events, submit them to a bugzilla, have me run various scripts over it and then decree that the scripts have spoken. Push some of this into the hands of the users so they can query the numbers locally and start investigating (or at least get an idea of what's happening). This tool measures the time deltas between touch up and touch down and prints a basic summary, together with the ability to print a dat file with the data for visualization by e.g. gnuplot. Eventually, more of the current analysis scripts will be moved into this or other helpers. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

.SH SYNOPSIS
tools: tidy up the libinput man pages again Make the libinput page more generic but suitable for short attention spans and most importantly, point to the xf86-input-libinput man page in a more obvious manner since we're now shadowing that. The rest of the man pages have punctuation and formatting cleanups only. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.B "libinput measure"
tool measures properties of one (or more) devices. Depending on what is to
be measured, this too may not create a libinput context.
.PP
This is a debugging tool only, its output may change at any time. Do not
rely on the output.
.PP
This tool usually needs to be run as root to have access to the
/dev/input/eventX nodes.
