💖 mtdev — the mtdev(1) page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for mtdev, living in section 1 of the General Commands Manual. it's a lil tool that exists to test out the libmtdev library. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mtdev — a tool to test the libmtdev library 🧚

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mtdev <input_device>

that's it. one argument. she's low maintenance 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: mtdev reads the kernel event device directly — like, no middleman, no nothing, just straight up grabbing the events from the kernel itself 🔥

then it transforms the flow of events, and prints out information from the kernel input events structure. so basically it's a lil window into what your input device is actually saying ✨

okay but listen — it only works on MT-enabled kernel drivers. if your driver isn't MT-enabled, this is not the moment, bestie. no cap. 💀
