LSINPUT(8)
π LSINPUT(8) β the lsinput era π
okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about lsinput from section 8 of the manual, and honestly? it's giving "little tool, big main character energy." β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
lsinput β list input devices π
like, it lists your input devices. that's the whole vibe. no cap.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
lsinput lsinput [-v] [-s devnr]
yes. it literally says lsinput twice in there. i'm not fixing it, i'm not touching it, it's iconic and it stays. π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
lsinput displays a list of all input devices of the kernel, along with some information about each device.
that's it. that's the function. it shows you every input device your kernel knows about and hands you a lil info packet on each one. lowkey the most useful thing ever when you're trying to figure out what the heck is plugged in. π«Ά
π OPTIONS π
-vβ be verbose, bestie! print more details on the input devices. π default is to use a compact format with one line per device, which is cute and all, but-vis the full lore drop.-sdevnrβ specify the device to print. default is to print all devices. so if you only care about one specific device, hand it the number and it'll show you just that one. π―

ngl, the whole page is short and sweet β but every flag, every default, every name stays exactly where it was. nothing skipped, nothing invented. periodt. π
that's the whole thing, bestie β and it's a July 2005 classic from the LSINPUT(8) era, still serving looks two decades later. slay. ππ
