Struct evdev::InputEvent[][src]

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct InputEvent(_);
Expand description

A wrapped libc::input_event returned by the input device via the kernel.

input_event is a struct containing four fields:

  • time: timeval
  • type_: u16
  • code: u16
  • value: s32

The meaning of the “code” and “value” fields will depend on the underlying type of event.

Implementations

Returns the timestamp associated with the event.

Returns the type of event this describes, e.g. Key, Switch, etc.

Returns the raw “code” field directly from input_event.

A convenience function to return self.code() wrapped in a certain newtype determined by the type of this event.

This is useful if you want to match events by specific key codes or axes. Note that this does not capture the event value, just the type and code.

Returns the raw “value” field directly from input_event.

For keys and switches the values 0 and 1 map to pressed and not pressed respectively. For axes, the values depend on the hardware and driver implementation.

Create a new InputEvent. Only really useful for emitting events on virtual devices.

Create a new InputEvent with the time field set to “now” on the system clock.

Note that this isn’t usually necessary simply for emitting events on a virtual device, as even though InputEvent::new creates an input_event with the time field as zero, the kernel will update input_event.time when it emits the events to any programs reading the event “file”.
