INPUT_EVENT(9)                           Input Subsystem                           INPUT_EVENT(9)



NAME
       input_event - report new input event

SYNOPSIS
       void input_event(struct input_dev * dev, unsigned int type, unsigned int code, int value);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
           device that generated the event

       type
           type of the event

       code
           event code

       value
           value of the event

DESCRIPTION
       This function should be used by drivers implementing various input devices to report input
       events. See also input_inject_event.

NOTE
       input_event may be safely used right after input device was allocated with
       input_allocate_device, even before it is registered with input_register_device, but the
       event will not reach any of the input handlers. Such early invocation of input_event may
       be used to 'seed' initial state of a switch or initial position of absolute axis, etc.
