evdevil: Rust bindings to evdev and uinput

This library provides an interface to the Linux and FreeBSD input device subsystem.

Features

  • Ergonomic Rusty API designed for stability.
  • Exposes almost every evdev and uinput feature, including force-feedback and multitouch.
  • Device Hotplug support.
  • Light on dependencies.
  • FreeBSD compatibility.
  • async support via Tokio or async-io.

Cargo Features

Feature Description
serde Implements Serialize and Deserialize for many event code wrappers like Key, Rel, etc.
tokio Uses tokio to enable async event reading using EventReader.
async-io Uses async-io to enable async event reading using EventReader.

Rust Support

This library targets the latest Rust version.

Older Rust versions are supported by equally older versions of this crate. For example, to use a version of Rust that was succeeded 6 months ago, you'd also use an at least 6 month old version of this library.

Compatibility with older Rust versions may be provided on a best-effort basis.

Development

Testing

The crate is tested using end-to-end tests that create a virtual uinput device and then open it. This means the user running the tests needs to have permission to write to /dev/uinput and the input devices in /dev/input/event*.
