Peter Hutterer 1250407c7c 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.

.SH NAME
libinput \- tool to interface with libinput
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B libinput [\-\-help|\-\-version] \fI<command>\fR \fI[<args>]\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
libinput is a library to handle input devices and provides device
detection and input device event processing for most Wayland
compositors and the X.Org xf86-input-libinput driver.
.PP
The
.B "libinput"
tools are a set of tools to debug, interface with and analyze data for
libinput. These tools create libinput contexts separate from that of
the compositor/X server and cannot change settings in a running session.
See section
.B COMMANDS
for a list of available commands.

libinput's API documentation and details on features and various high-level
concepts are available online at
