TS_PRINT_MT(1)

✨ ts_print_mt — the multitouch vibe check ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ts_print_mt, section 1 of the manual, straight outta tslib 🦋 this is the very basic multitouch test routine and honestly? it's giving "just look at the numbers and chill" energy. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ts_print_mt — a very basic multitouch test routine for tslib. that's it, that's the whole job description 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ts_print_mt [OPTION]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ts_print_mt simply reads tslib multitouch input samples and prints them to the console. literally just that. it reads, it prints, it serves 🌈 no filters drama, no fancy UI, just your multitouch samples showing up on the terminal like they own the place. main character energy fr fr.

here's the tea on every single option, because we do not gatekeep 👑

🎀 options, one by one 🎀

• -i, --idev — explicitly choose the original input event device for tslib to use. like, "bestie, THIS is the device, look no further" 🫶
  • Default: the value of the environment variable TSLIB_TSDEVICE. iykyk.
• -r, --raw — don't use the filters. this uses ts_read_raw_mt() instead of ts_read_mt(). it's the glow-down version, but on purpose. this option replaces the ts_print_raw_mt program, so if you were missing that one, it's here now, iconic 💀✨
• -n, --non-blocking — opens the input device in non-blocking mode and indefinitely prints the error codes while no samples are received. yes bestie, indefinitely. it will keep yapping those error codes at you until samples show up 😭 not for the faint of heart.
• -s, --samples — number of samples tslib should read before returning. set your limit, queen 🎀
• -j, --slots — override the number of concurrent touch contacts to allocate. more fingers, more slots, more chaos 🙈
• -h, --help — print usage help and exit. the classic escape hatch, we love her 💖
