Struct evdev_rs::UInputDevice

pub struct UInputDevice { /* fields omitted */ }

Opaque struct representing an evdev uinput device

Implementations

impl UInputDevice

pub fn create_from_device(device: &Device) -> Result<UInputDevice>

Create a uinput device based on the given libevdev device.

The uinput device will be an exact copy of the libevdev device, minus the bits that uinput doesn’t allow to be set.

pub fn devnode(&self) -> Option<&str>

pub fn syspath(&self) -> Option<&str>

pub fn fd(&self) -> Option<File>

Return the file descriptor used to create this uinput device.

This is the fd pointing to /dev/uinput. This file descriptor may be used to write events that are emitted by the uinput device. Closing this file descriptor will destroy the uinput device.

pub fn write_event(&self, event: &InputEvent) -> Result<()>

Post an event through the uinput device.

It is the caller’s responsibility that any event sequence is terminated with an EV_SYN/SYN_REPORT/0 event. Otherwise, listeners on the device node will not see the events until the next EV_SYN event is posted.

impl Drop for UInputDevice
