Common problem: some touch sequence does something to confuse libinput but it
cannot easily be captureed. The result is a long sequence of touche that need
to be picked apart and isolated.
Print an easy-to-search for message in the evdev output that signals that the
device touch state is now neutral (i.e. no finger down). Same can be achieved
by searching for BTN_TOOL_FINGER but that provides false positives for
switching between one and two fingers.

Collect libinput events together with the evdev events and print them to the
log. This makes it possible to debug the full behavior of a user's machine
rather than having to replay it with potential different race conditions/side
effects.
Example event output:
- evdev:
- [ 2, 314443, 4, 4, 57] # EV_MSC / MSC_SCAN 57
- [ 2, 314443, 1, 57, 1] # EV_KEY / KEY_SPACE 1
- [ 2, 314443, 0, 0, 0] # ------------ SYN_REPORT (0) ---------- +87ms
libinput:
- {time: 2.314443, type: KEYBOARD_KEY, key: 57, state: pressed}
- evdev:
- [ 2, 377203, 4, 4, 57] # EV_MSC / MSC_SCAN 57
- [ 2, 377203, 1, 57, 0] # EV_KEY / KEY_SPACE 0
- [ 2, 377203, 0, 0, 0] # ------------ SYN_REPORT (0) ---------- +63ms
libinput:
- {time: 2.377203, type: KEYBOARD_KEY, key: 57, state: released}
Note that the only way to know that events are within the same frame is to
check the timestamp. libinput keeps those intact which means we can tell that
if we just had an evdev frame with timestamp T and get a pointer motion with
timestamp T, that frame caused the motion event.
So far, only key, pointer and touch events are printed. We also
hardcode-enable tapping where available until we have options to enable this
on the commandline just because that's useful to have.

The stop variable set in the signal handler needs
volatile (and use the defined sig_atomic_t instead
of unsigned int).

Only the ones we care about in libinput but for those it's handy to know which
ones are set (especially the LIBINPUT_MODEL ones).

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.

This is a tool that does effectively the same job as evemu-record.
evemu has two disadvantages: its API is clunky and hard to extend even for
simple features. And it has a custom file format that requires special
processing but is difficult to extend and hard to write manually. e.g. the
bitmasks require keeping a line number state to know which bit an entry refers
to.
libinput-record records the same data but the output is YAML. That can be
processed easier and extended in the future without breaking the parsing. We
can (in the future) also interleave the evemu output with libinput's debug
output, thus having a single file where the events can be compared and
analysed without the need for replaying. Likewise, we can easily annotate the
file with parsable bits of information without having to shove all that into a
comment (like version numbers of libinput, kernel, etc).
User-visible differences to evemu-record:
* the output file requires an explicit -o or --output-file argument
* no evemu-describe equivalent, if you just want the description simply cancel
before any events are sent
* to see key codes, a --show-keycodes flag must be supplied, otherwise all
'normal' keys end up as KEY_A. This protects against inadvertent information
leakage
* supports a --multiple option to record multiple devices simultaneously. All
recordings have the same time offset, it is thus possible to reproduce bugs
that depend on the interaction of more than one device.
And to answer the question of: why a printf-approach to writing out yaml
instead of a library, it's simply that we want to be able to have real-time
output of the recording.

Missing '+' in the optstring caused it to evaluate all options. If any
argument was passed to a subcommand, libinput-measure would throw an error and
exit.
