In addition to the evdev_frame this struct is what contains our actual events instead of a struct input_event. The goal of this is twofold: slightly better memory usage per frame since we can skip the timestamp and refer to the evdev frame's timestamp only. This also improves handling a frame since we no longer need to care about updating all events when the timestamp changes during appending events. Secondly it merges the evdev type + code into a single "usage" (term obviously and shamelessly stolen from HID). Those usages are the same as the code names but with an extra EVDEV_ prepended, i.e. EV_SYN / SYN_REPORT becomes EVDEV_SYN_REPORT. And they are wrapped in a newtype so passing it around provides some typesafety. This only switches one part of the processing over, the dispatch interfaces still use a struct input_event Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/1215> |

libinput
libinput is a library that provides a full input stack for display servers and other applications that need to handle input devices provided by the kernel.
libinput provides device detection, event handling and abstraction to minimize the amount of custom input code the user of libinput needs to provide the common set of functionality that users expect. Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.
