[PATCH libinput] tools: add a tool to list local devices and the default configurations

Tue Apr 14 20:49:34 PDT 2015


xinput or an equivalent isn't available under wayland, but the majority of
use-cases of "why doesn't my device work" or "why does feature X not work"
should be covered by simply listing the local devices and their config
options.

Example output:

Device:         SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad
Kernel:         /dev/input/event4
Group:          9
Seat:           seat0, default
Size:           97.33x62.40mm
Capabilities:   pointer
Tap-to-click:   disabled
Left-handed:    disabled
Nat.scrolling:  disabled
Calibration:    n/a
Scroll methods: *two-finger
Click methods:  *button-areas clickfinger

+.TH LIBINPUT-LIST_DEVICES "1"
+.SH NAME
+libinput-list-devices \- list local devices as recognized by libinput
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B libinput-list-devices [--help]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The
+.I libinput-list-devices
+tool creates a libinput context on the default seat "seat0" and lists all
+devices regonized by libinput. Each device shows available configurations
+the respective default configuration setting.
+.PP
+For configuration options that allow multiple different settings (e.g.
+scrolling), all available settings are listed. The default setting is
+prefixed by an asterisk (*).
+.PP
+This tool usually needs to be run as root to have access to the
+/dev/input/eventX nodes.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 8
+.B --help
+Print help 
+.SH NOTES
+.PP
+Some specific feature may still be available on a device even when
+no configuration is exposed, a lack of a configuration option does not
+necessarily mean that this feature does not work.
+.PP
+A device may be recognized by libinput but not handled by the X.Org libinput
+driver or the Wayland compositor.
+.PP
+An xorg.conf(5) configuration entry or Wayland compositor setting may have
+changed configurations on a device. The 
+.I libinput-list-devices
+tool only shows the device's default configuration, not the current
+configuration.
