Struct input::DeviceGroup

pub struct DeviceGroup { /* private fields */ }

Device group

Some physical devices like graphics tablets are represented by multiple kernel devices and thus by multiple Devices.

libinput assigns these devices to the same DeviceGroup allowing the caller to identify such devices and adjust configuration settings accordingly. For example, setting a tablet to left-handed often means turning it upside down. A touch device on the same tablet would need to be turned upside down too to work correctly.

All devices are part of a device group though for most devices the group will be a singleton. A device is assigned to a device group on DeviceAddedEvent and removed from that group on DeviceRemovedEvent. It is up to the caller to track how many devices are in each device group.

Device groups do not get re-used once the last device in the group was removed, i.e. unplugging and re-plugging a physical device with grouped devices will return a different device group after every unplug.

Device groups are assigned based on the LIBINPUT_DEVICE_GROUP udev property, see Static device configuration via udev.

Trait Implementations

fn as_raw(&self) -> *const libinput_device_group

Receive a raw pointer representing this type.

impl Clone for DeviceGroup

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Context for DeviceGroup

Returns the underlying libinput context

impl Debug for DeviceGroup

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Drop for DeviceGroup

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

impl FromRaw<libinput_device_group> for DeviceGroup

unsafe fn from_raw(ffi: *mut libinput_device_group, context: &Libinput) -> Self

impl Hash for DeviceGroup

fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H)

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)where
    H: Hasher,
    Self: Sized,

impl PartialEq<DeviceGroup> for DeviceGroup

fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
