tools: add a libinput list-kernel-devices tool Same as libinput list-devices, but lists the available event nodes. This effectively does the same as libinput record without arguments but it's more obvious in what it is supposed to do and thus easier to point to. Also, it uses pyudev instead of libevdev so it does not need to run as root to discover devices. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

.SH NAME
libinput\-list\-kernel\-devices \- list all kernel input devices
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B libinput list\-kernel\-devices [\-\-help]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.B "libinput list\-kernel\-devices"
tool iterates through the list of available kernel devices and prints
tools: add a --hid toggle to libinput-list-kernel-devices Lists all SUBSYSTEM=hid devices, including the respective hidraw and evdev nodes. Note that this takes a shortcut in the udev handling: in theory we *should* compare the hidraw/evdev parent device with our hid device. In practice, checking if the devpath starts with the same substring is good enough. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

.SH NOTES
.PP
A device may be available but not recognized by libinput. This may indicate
a bug with the udev configuration. See the
.B "libinput list\-devices"
tools for the devices recognized by libinput.
