16DESCRIPTION
17-----------
18evemu-device creates a virtual input device based on the description-file.
19This description is usually created by evemu-describe(1). evemu-device then
20creates a new input device with uinput and prints the name and the device
21file to
22stdout.
23
24evemu-play replays the event sequence given on stdin through the input
25device. The event sequence must be in the form created by evemu-record(1).
26
27evemu-device must be able to write to the uinput device node, and evemu-play
28must be able to write to the device node specified; in most cases this means
29it must be run as root.
