NAME

libinput−debug−events − debug helper for libinput

SYNOPSIS

libinput debug−events [options]

libinput debug−events [options] −−udev <seat>

libinput debug−events [options] [−−device] /dev/input/event0 [/dev/input/event1...]

DESCRIPTION

The libinput debug−events tool creates a libinput context and prints all events from these devices.

This is a debugging tool only, its output may change at any time. Do not rely on the output.

This tool usually needs to be run as root to have access to the /dev/input/eventX nodes.

OPTIONS

−−device /dev/input/event0

Use the given device(s) with the path backend. The −−device argument may be omitted.

−−grab

Exclusively grab all opened devices. This will prevent events from being delivered to the host system.

−−help

Print help

−−quiet

Only print libinput messages, don’t print anything from this tool. This is useful in combination with --verbose for internal state debugging.

−−show−keycodes

Key events shown by this tool are partially obfuscated to avoid passwords and other sensitive information showing up in the output. Use the −−show−keycodes argument to make all keycodes visible.

−−udev <seat>

Use the udev backend to listen for device notifications on the given seat. The default behavior is equivalent to −−udev "seat0".

−−verbose

Use verbose output

libinput configuration options
