Rust libinput bindings
These bindings closely follow libinput's concepts and it's original API. Please refer to the libinput documentation to understand the general structure and concepts.
Note: Due to a bug within libinput, these bindings are not compatible with libinput 1.19.0. Please use the fixed 1.19.1 version.
Usage
Add to your Cargo.toml:
input = "0.7"Install the libinput dev dependencies:
Ubuntu:
apt-get install libinput-dev
Fedora
dnf install libinput-devel
Configure and run event loop:
use std::fs::{File, OpenOptions};
use std::os::unix::{fs::OpenOptionsExt, io::{RawFd, FromRawFd, IntoRawFd}};
use std::path::Path;
use input::{Libinput, LibinputInterface};
use libc::{O_RDONLY, O_RDWR, O_WRONLY};
struct Interface;
impl LibinputInterface for Interface {
fn open_restricted(&mut self, path: &Path, flags: i32) -> Result<RawFd, i32> {
OpenOptions::new()
.custom_flags(flags)
.read((flags & O_RDONLY != 0) | (flags & O_RDWR != 0))
.write((flags & O_WRONLY != 0) | (flags & O_RDWR != 0))
.open(path)
.map(|file| file.into_raw_fd())
.map_err(|err| err.raw_os_error().unwrap())
}
fn close_restricted(&mut self, fd: RawFd) {
unsafe {
File::from_raw_fd(fd);
}
}
}
fn main() {
let mut input = Libinput::new_with_udev(Interface);
input.udev_assign_seat("seat0").unwrap();
loop {
input.dispatch().unwrap();
for event in &mut input {
println!("Got event: {:?}", event);
}
}
}
