EVEMU-DESCRIBE(1) ================= NAME ---- evemu-describe, evemu-record - print information and events from an input device SYNOPSIS -------- evemu-describe /dev/input/eventX evemu-record /dev/input/eventX DESCRIPTION ----------- evemu-describe gathers information about the input device and prints it to stdout. This information can be parsed by evemu-device(1) to create a virtual input device with the same properties. evemu-record captures events from the input device and prints them to stdout. The events can be parsed by evemu-play(1) to let a virtual input device created with evemu-device(1) emit the exact same event sequence. evemu-describe and evemu-record need to be able to read from the device; in most cases this means they must be run as root. DIAGNOSTICS ----------- If evtest-record does not see any events even though the device is being used, the device may be grabbed by a process (EVIOCGRAB). This is usually the case when debugging a synaptics or wacom device from within X. VT switching to a TTY or shutting down the X server terminates this grab and the devices can be recorded.
