libinput-measure-fuzz(1)

💖 libinput-measure-fuzz — bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this is libinput-measure-fuzz(1), and it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your system, which is giving very "reference material you only open when something is acting up." 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

libinput-measure-fuzz — measure absolute axis fuzz 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

libinput measure fuzz [--help] [options] [/dev/input/event0]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the libinput measure fuzz tool is supposed to measure the fuzz for an absolute axis on a kernel device. cute concept, right? 🦋 except... the current implementation does not actually measure anything. bestie it literally just prints the relevant information available and suggests a udev rule. that's it. that's the whole thing. 💅

⚠️ heads up, this is a debugging tool only, and its output may change at any time. Do not rely on the output. like, don't build your whole workflow on it, i'm begging. 😭

also, this tool usually needs to be run as root to have access to the /dev/input/eventX nodes. no root, no vibes. 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• if a device node is given, this tool opens that device node. otherwise, this tool searches for the first node that looks like a touchpad device and uses that node. so either you tell it where to look or it picks for you, main character energy. 🫶
• --help — Print help. that's it, that's the option. iconic of it. 👑

✨ LIBINPUT ✨

Part of the libinput(1) suite 🌈

and that's the whole page, babe. it's libinput-measure-fuzz(1), from the General Commands Manual era, and it's still out here doing its little libinput(1) suite thing. no cap, go run it as root and let it cook. 💜✨🎀
