NAME¶

void
input_event(struct input_dev * dev,
unsigned int type,
unsigned int code,
int value);
ARGUMENTS¶
devdevice that generated the event
type
type of the event

value of the event
DESCRIPTION¶
This function should be used by drivers implementing various input devices to report input events. See also input_inject_event.NOTE¶
input_event may be safely used right after input device was allocated with input_allocate_device, even before it is registered with input_register_device, but the event will not reach any of the input handlers. Such early invocation of input_event may be used to 'seed' initial state of a switch or initial position of absolute axis, etc.COPYRIGHT¶
