INTERCEPT(1)

💖 INTERCEPT(1) 💖

okay bestie so welcome to the INTERCEPT(1) page, she lives in the User Commands section and honestly? she's iconic. you might see her under two names depending on which flavour of the tools you're running, and both of them do the exact same lil job.

✨ NAME ✨

• interception — redirect device input events to stdout (this is the interception-tools one)
• intercept — redirect device input events to stdout (and this is the interception-tools-compat one)

same energy, different packaging. slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

interception [-h ] | [-g] devnode]

intercept [-h ] | [-g] devnode]

yes the brackets are doing whatever they're doing, we do not touch the brackets. 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

redirect device input events to stdout

that's it, that's the whole vibe. you point it at a device and it goes 👀 at everything happening there and yells it out to stdout.

• -h — show this message and exit. short king behaviour, respects your time, says bye immediately.
• -g — grab device. she's holding onto it, no cap.
• devnode — path of device to capture events from. literally just tell her where the device lives.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• mux(1)
• udevmon(1)
• uinput(1)

go read those too bestie, they're all part of the same friend group 🫶

and that's the whole page!! intercept 0.6.4, born May 2022, and she's been serving ever since. go forth and capture those events. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸
