INPUT_EVENT(9) | Input Subsystem | INPUT_EVENT(9) |
NAME¶
input_event - report new input event
SYNOPSIS¶
void input_event(struct input_dev * dev, unsigned int type, unsigned int code, int value);
ARGUMENTS¶
dev
type
code
value
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.
