.TH LIBINPUT-RS 8 "July 2026" "libinput-rs 0.3.1" "System Administration"
.SH NAME
libinput-rs \- Rust libinput ABI replacement
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B libinput-rs
.RI [ command ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B libinput-rs
package installs a tested drop-in implementation of
.IR libinput.so.10
in the system library directory. Display managers, compositors, and other
libinput clients use it after the dynamic linker cache is refreshed and the
clients are restarted.
.PP
The same package installs the public header, unversioned linker name, and
pkg-config metadata that replace the distribution's development package.
.PP
The compatibility command
.B libinput-rs
invokes the installed
.B libinput
command-line interface. Input processing itself runs entirely inside the
shared backend used by the compositor. No resident input companion or exclusive
device grab is installed. Motion, scrolling, tapping, click mapping, and
disable-while-typing use the standard libinput device configuration API.
.PP
An enabled, non-resident sleep unit invokes the guarded ELAN recovery command
after resume on ThinkPad P53 systems. It exits without action on other systems
and never opens or grabs an input event device.
