NAME
libinput-debug-events - debug helper for libinput
SYNOPSIS
libinput debug-events [options]
libinput debug-events [options] --udev <seat>
libinput debug-events [options] [--device] /dev/input/event0
[/dev/input/event1...]
DESCRIPTION
The libinput debug-events tool creates a libinput context and prints
all events from these devices.
This is a debugging tool only, its output may change at any time. Do
not rely on the output.
This tool usually needs to be run as root to have access to the
/dev/input/eventX nodes.
OPTIONS
--device /dev/input/event0
Use the given device(s) with the path backend. The --device
argument may be omitted.
--grab Exclusively grab all opened devices. This will prevent events
from being delivered to the host system.
--help Print help
--quiet Only print libinput messages, don't print anything from this
tool. This is useful in combination with --verbose for internal
state debugging.
--show-keycodes
Key events shown by this tool are partially obfuscated to avoid
passwords and other sensitive information showing up in the
output. Use the --show-keycodes argument to make all keycodes
visible.
--udev <seat>
Use the udev backend to listen for device notifications on the
given seat. The default behavior is equivalent to --udev
"seat0".
--verbose
Use verbose output
