Struct EventWriter 

pub struct EventWriter<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Helper for writing a sequence of events to the uinput device.

Returned by UinputDevice::writer.

Implementations

impl<'a> EventWriter<'a>

pub fn write(self, events: &[InputEvent]) -> Result<Self>

Writes raw events to the device.

Events passed to this method may be buffered to improve performance.

pub fn slot(self, slot: impl TryInto<Slot>) -> Result<SlotWriter<'a>>

Prepares for modification of a multi-touch slot.

This will publish an ABS_MT_SLOT event with the selected slot.

Returns an SlotWriter that can be used to modify slot.

pub fn set_key_repeat(self, rep: KeyRepeat) -> Result<Self>

Changes the device’s KeyRepeat configuration.

Requires that Builder::with_key_repeat was called to enable the autorepeat functionality.

This will write 2 RepeatEvents: one with Repeat::PERIOD and one with Repeat::DELAY. The uinput system will immediately echo both events back to the UinputDevice, and to every connected evdev client.

pub fn finish(self) -> Result<()>

Finishes this batch of events by sending a SYN_REPORT event.

If this method isn’t called by the user, it will be called when the EventWriter is dropped. Since Drop implementations cannot handle errors, any errors that occur will only be logged. It is recommended to use this method instead, to ensure errors are handled correctly.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Debug for EventWriter<'a>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for EventWriter<'_>

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.
