UINPUT(1)

💖 UINPUT(1) 💖

okay so this is a User Commands page bestie, and it's literally all about uinput — she's a lil icon who takes device input events from stdin and redirects them to a virtual device. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

uinput — redirect device input events from stdin to virtual device 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uinput [-h | [-p] [-c device.yaml] [-d devnode]]

like. that's the whole vibe. look at her go 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

redirect device input events from stdin to virtual device. that's it, that's the girl. she takes what you pipe in and sends it out to a fake lil device like it's nothing. main character energy fr fr ✨

here's the tea on every option, no gatekeeping:

• -h — show this message and exit. the classic "help me bestie" move 🫶
• -p — show resulting YAML device description merge and exit. she'll show you the merged YAML and then dip 👑
• -c device.yaml — merge YAML device description to resulting virtual device. repeatable, so you can stack these babies like friendship bracelets 🌈
• -d devnode — merge reference device description to resulting virtual device. also repeatable, go off 😭
