GRAIL-TEST-3-1(1)

GRAIL-TEST-3-1(1) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Open Input Framework corner of the man pages ✨ this one lives in section 1, and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, big job". let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

grail-test-3-1 β€” dump grail v3 events πŸ’–

like, that's the whole gig. it dumps grail v3 events. no cap.


✨ SYNPOSIS ✨

(yes babes, it's spelled like that in the original β€” iconic of them, we respect it 😌)

grail-test-3-1 window

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe 🌸 this tool prints grail v3 events straight to stdout. that's it. that's the mission.

BUT. and this is the important part, don't skip it πŸ‘‘ β€” it requires an X11 server that supports multi-touch through XInput 2.2. no XInput 2.2, no multi-touch, no service. periodt.

it subscribes to gestures with a 3 touch start and max, but with a minimum of 1 touch. so it'll ride with you from one finger all the way up to three πŸ”₯

and the whole reason this lil guy exists? the grail-test-3-1 tool helps test continuation through touch count changes. aka: does everything stay slay when you go from 3 fingers to 1 finger and back again? that's the question it's answering πŸ’€


heads up bestie: no --help, no --verbose, no config file. you hand it a window and it does its thing. that's the whole relationship πŸ’œ

and that's the page!! written by grail, dated March 14, 2012 (a legend from the archives fr fr πŸŽ€), source grail, section GRAIL-TEST-3-1(1). mwah, go touch some screens πŸ¦‹βœ¨
