| 1 | EVEMU-DESCRIBE(1) | ||
| 2 | ================= | ||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | NAME | ||
| 5 | ---- | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | evemu-describe, evemu-record - print information and events from an | ||
| 8 | input device | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | SYNOPSIS | ||
| 11 | -------- | ||
| 12 | evemu-describe /dev/input/eventX | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | evemu-record /dev/input/eventX | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | DESCRIPTION | ||
| 17 | ----------- | ||
| 18 | evemu-describe gathers information about the input device and prints it to | ||
| 19 | stdout. This information can be parsed by evemu-device(1) to create a | ||
| 20 | virtual input device with the same properties. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | evemu-record captures events from the input device and prints them to | ||
| 23 | stdout. The events can be parsed by evemu-play(1) to let a virtual input | ||
| 24 | device created with evemu-device(1) emit the exact same event sequence. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | evemu-describe and evemu-record need to be able to read from the device; in | ||
| 27 | most cases this means they must be run as root. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | DIAGNOSTICS | ||
| 30 | ----------- | ||
| 31 | If evtest-record does not see any events even though the device is being | ||
| 32 | used, the device may be grabbed by a process (EVIOCGRAB). This is usually | ||
| 33 | the case when debugging a synaptics or wacom device from within X. VT | ||
| 34 | switching to a TTY or shutting down the X server terminates this grab and | ||
| 35 | the devices can be recorded. | ||
