INPUT_EVENT(9) Input Subsystem INPUT_EVENT(9)NAMEinput_event - report new input event
SYNOPSIS
void input_event(struct input_dev * dev, unsigned int type,
unsigned int code, int value);
ARGUMENTS
dev
device that generated the event
type
type of the event
code
event code
value
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.
NOTEinput_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.
