.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function should be used by drivers implementing various input devices to report input events\&. See also
\fBinput_inject_event\fR\&.
.SH "NOTE"
.PP
\fBinput_event\fR
may be safely used right after input device was allocated with
\fBinput_allocate_device\fR, even before it is registered with
\fBinput_register_device\fR, but the event will not reach any of the input handlers\&. Such early invocation of
\fBinput_event\fR
may be used to \*(Aqseed\*(Aq initial state of a switch or initial position of absolute axis, etc\&.
