evdev
Note: This is work in progress. Use at your own risk.
evdev is a pure Go implementation of the Linux evdev API.
It allows a Go application to track events from any devices
mapped to /dev/input/event[X].
TODO
-
Handle EvSwitch (switch) events.
-
Handle EvSync (Synchronization) events.
-
Handle EVMisc (Miscellaneous) events.
-
Handle EvSound (Sound) events.
-
Handle EvPower (Power management) events.
-
Handling of relative axis information seems incomplete. Find some documentation on the subject to verify.
-
Better error handling. The
Devicetype now mostly ignores ioctl errors once the device has been successfuly opened. This is done to simplify the API. Some of theSetXXXmethods do return a boolean value to indicate success/failure, but this is not consistently applied. Some of them work by sending anEventstruct to the device by queueing it in theDevice.Outboxchannel. Which in turn is processed in a separate goroutine (seeDevice.pollOutbox).We can currently not receive any return values from such an operation. This includes possible errors. Should we implement some sort of synchronous call mechanism for these kind of writes? Ideally we do want to keep all of the writes confined to the same goroutine.
We do not necessarily need an actual error value, just a boolean indicating success or failure. ioctl errors are usually very non-descriptive anyway, so there is little point in passing them around.
Known issues
Permissions
Opening nodes in /dev/input may require root access. This means that
our client applications do as well. To solve this, there are a couple
of options.
The most sensible one is to use a udev rule to give device access
to anyone in the input group. Then add yourself to this group.
This hinges on the question whether or not your system uses udev.
For Arch Linux, udev comes pre-installed as a part of systemd.
Here is a short listing of the steps to undertake to make this work,
but we strongly advise that you read through the appropriate
documentation
on what udev rules are and how to safely create or edit them.
As root, perform the following steps:
$ mkdir -p /etc/udev/rules.d
$ nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules
Put this in the file:
KERNEL=="event*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="660", GROUP="input"
Save and exit nano. Then create the input group and add yourself to it:
$ groupadd -f input
$ gpasswd -a <YOURUSERNAME> input
This will add any input devices to the input group. Only users who are in
this group, will be able to read from them. Reboot your machine to make
these changes take effect.
`/dev/input' should now list someting like this:
$ ls -l /dev/input/
total 0

Types ¶
type AbsInfo ¶
type AbsInfo struct {
Value int32 // Current value of the axis,
Minimum int32 // Lower limit of axis.
Maximum int32 // Upper limit of axis.
Fuzz int32 // ???
Flat int32 // Size of the 'flat' section.
Resolution int32 // Size of the error that may be present.
}
AbsInfo provides information for a specific absolute axis. This applies to devices which support EvAbsolute events.
type Bitset ¶ added in v0.0.2
type Bitset []Word
Bitset defines a set of bit values.
func (Bitset) Bytes ¶ added in v0.0.2
Bytes returns the bitset as a byte slice. This is the same memory, so any changes to the returned slice, will affect the bitset.
type ConditionEffect ¶
type ConditionEffect struct {
RightSaturation uint16
LeftSaturation uint16
RightCoeff int16
LeftCoeff int16
Deadband uint16
Center int16
}
ConditionEffect represents a confitional force feedback effect.
type ConstantEffect ¶
ConstantEffect renders constant force-feedback effects.
type Device ¶
type Device struct {
Inbox chan Event // Channel exposing incoming events.
Outbox chan Event // Channel for outgoing events.
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Device represents a single device node.
func Open ¶
Open opens a new device for the given node name. This can be anything listed in /dev/input/event[x].
func (*Device) AbsoluteAxes ¶ added in v0.0.9
AbsoluteAxes returns a bitfield indicating which absolute axes are supported by the device.
This is only applicable to devices with EvAbsolute event support.
func (*Device) AbsoluteInfo ¶ added in v0.0.9
AbsoluteInfo provides state information for one absolute axis. If you want the global state for a device, you have to call the function for each axis present on the device. See Device.AbsoluteAxes() for details on how find them.
This is only applicable to devices with EvAbsolute event support.
func (*Device) EventTypes ¶
EventTypes determines the device's capabilities. It yields a bitset which can be tested against EvXXX constants to determine which types are supported.
func (*Device) ForceFeedbackCaps ¶ added in v0.0.9
ForceFeedbackCaps returns a bitset which specified the kind of Force Feedback effects supported by this device. The bits can be compared against the FFXXX constants. Additionally, it returns the number of effects this device can handle simultaneously.
This is only applicable to devices with EvForceFeedback event support.
func (*Device) Grab ¶ added in v0.0.10
Grab attempts to gain exclusive access to this device. This means that we are the only ones receiving events from the device; other processes will not.
This ability should be handled with care, especially when trying to lock keyboard access. If this is executed while we are running in something like X, this call will prevent X from receiving any and all keyboard events. All of them will only be sent to our own process. If we do not properly handle these key events, we may lock ourselves out of the system and a hard reset is required to restore it.
func (*Device) KeyMap ¶ added in v0.0.7
KeyMap fills the key mapping for the given key. E.g.: Pressing M, will input N into the input system. This allows us to rewire physical keys.
Refer to `Device.SetKeyMap()` for information on what this means.
Be aware that the KeyMap functions may not work on every keyboard. This is only applicable to devices with EvKey event support.
func (*Device) KeyState ¶ added in v0.0.4
Keystate returns the current,global key- and button- states.
This is only applicable to devices with EvKey event support.
func (*Device) LEDState ¶ added in v0.0.5
LEDState returns the current, global LED state.
This is only applicable to devices with EvLed event support.
func (*Device) Path ¶
Path returns the physical path of the device. For example:
usb-00:01.2-2.1/input0
To understand what this string is showing, you need to break it down into parts. `usb` means this is a physical topology from the USB system.
`00:01.2` is the PCI bus information for the USB host controller (in this case, bus 0, slot 1, function 2).
`2.1` shows the path from the root hub to the device. In this case, the upstream hub is plugged in to the second port on the root hub, and that device is plugged in to the first port on the upstream hub.
`input0` means this is the first event interface on the device. Most devices have only one, but multimedia keyboards may present the normal keyboard on one interface and the multimedia function keys on a second interface.
func (*Device) PlayEffect ¶ added in v0.0.9
PlayEffect plays a previously uploaded effect.
func (*Device) RelativeAxes ¶ added in v0.0.9
RelativeAxes returns a bitfield indicating which relative axes are supported by the device.
This is only applicable to devices with EvRelative event support.
func (*Device) Release ¶ added in v0.0.10
Release releases a lock, previously obtained through `Device.Grab`.
func (*Device) RepeatState ¶ added in v0.0.7
RepeatState returns the current, global repeat state. This applies only to devices which have the EvRepeat capability defined. This can be determined through `Device.EventTypes()`.
Refer to Device.SetRepeatState for an explanation on what the returned values mean.
This is only applicable to devices with EvRepeat event support.
func (*Device) Serial ¶
Serial returns the unique serial code for the device. Most devices do not have this and will return an empty string.
func (*Device) SetEffectAutoCenter ¶ added in v0.0.12
SetEffectAutoCenter changes the force feedback autocenter factor. The specified factor should be in the range 0-100. A value of 0 means: no autocenter.
This is only applicable to devices with EvForceFeedback event support.
func (*Device) SetEffectGain ¶ added in v0.0.12
SetEffectGain changes the force feedback gain.
Not all devices have the same effect strength. Therefore, users should set a gain factor depending on how strong they want effects to be. This setting is persistent across access to the driver.
The specified gain should be in the range 0-100. This is only applicable to devices with EvForceFeedback event support.
func (*Device) SetEffects ¶ added in v0.0.9
SetEffects sends the given list of Force Feedback effects to the device. The length of the list should not exceed the count returned from `Device.ForceFeedbackCaps()`.
After this call completes, the effect.Id field will contain the effect's id which must be used when playing or stopping the effect. It is also possible to reupload the same effect with the same id later on with new parameters. This allows us to update a running effect, without first stopping it.
This is only applicable to devices with EvForceFeedback event support.
func (*Device) SetKeyMap ¶ added in v0.0.7
SetKeyMap sets the given key to the specified mapping. E.g.: Pressing M, will input N into the input system. This allows us to rewire physical keys.
Some input drivers support variable mappings between the keys held down (which are interpreted by the keyboard scan and reported as scancodes) and the events sent to the input layer.
You can change which key is associated with each scancode using this call. The value of the scancode is the first element in the integer array (list[n][0]), and the resulting input event key number (keycode) is the second element in the array. (list[n][1]).
Be aware that the KeyMap functions may not work on every keyboard. This is only applicable to devices with EvKey event support.
func (*Device) SetRepeatState ¶ added in v0.0.7
SetRepeatState sets the global repeat state for the given device.
The values indicate (in milliseconds) the delay before the device starts repeating and the delay between subsequent repeats. This might apply to a keyboard where the user presses and holds a key.
E.g.: We see an initial character immediately, then another @initial milliseconds later and after that, once every @subsequent milliseconds, until the key is released.
This returns false if the operation failed.
This is only applicable to devices with EvRepeat event support.
func (*Device) StopEffect ¶ added in v0.0.9
StopEffect stops a previously uploaded effect from playing.
func (*Device) Test ¶ added in v0.0.14
Test takes a bitset and a list of constants and tests one against the other to see if the device supports a given set of properties.
It returns true only if the bitset defines all the supplied types. E.g.: To test for certain event types:
if dev.Test(dev.EventTypes(), EvKey, EvRepeat) {
To test for certain absolute axes:
if dev.Test(dev.AbsoluteAxes(), AbsX, AbsY, AbsZ) {
To test for certain relative axes:
if dev.Test(dev.RelativeAxes(), RelX, RelY, RelZ) {
func (*Device) UnsetEffects ¶ added in v0.0.9
UnsetEffects deletes the given effects from the device. This makes room for new effects in the device's memory. Note that this also stops the effect if it was playing.
This is only applicable to devices with EvForceFeedback event support.
type Effect ¶
type Effect struct {
Type uint16
Id int16
Direction uint16
Trigger Trigger
Replay Replay
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Effect describes any of the supported Force Feedback effects.
Supported effects are as follows:
- FFConstant Renders constant force effects
- FFPeriodic Renders periodic effects with the following waveforms:
- FFSquare Square waveform
- FFTriangle Triangle waveform
- FFSine Sine waveform
- FFSawUp Sawtooth up waveform
- FFSawDown Sawtooth down waveform
- FFCustom Custom waveform
- FFRamp Renders ramp effects
- FFSprint Simulates the presence of a spring
- FFFriction Simulates friction
- FFDamper Simulates damper effects
- FFRumble Rumble effects
- FFInertia Simulates inertia
- FFGain Gain is adjustable
- FFAutoCenter Autocenter is adjustable
Note: In most cases you should use FFPeriodic instead of FFRumble. All devices that support FFRumble support FFPeriodic (square, triangle, sine) and the other way around.
Note: The exact layout of FFCustom waveforms is undefined for the time being as no driver supports it yet.
Note: All duration values are expressed in milliseconds. Values above 32767 ms (0x7fff) should not be used and have unspecified results.
func (*Effect) Data ¶
func (e *Effect) Data() interface{}
Data returns the event data structure as a concrete type. Its type depends on the value of Effect.Type and can be any of:
FFConstant -> ConstantEffect FFPeriodic -> PeriodicEffect FFRamp -> RampEffect FFRumble -> RumbleEffect FFSpring -> [2]ConditionEffect FFDamper -> [2]ConditionEffect
This returns nil if the type was not recognized.
type Id ¶
Id represents the device identity.
The bus type is the only field that contains accurate data. It can be compared to the BusXXX constants. The vendor, product and version fields are bus type-specific information relating to the identity of the device. Modern devices (typically using PCI or USB) do have information that can be used, but legacy devices (such as serial mice, PS/2 keyboards and game ports on ISA sound cards) do not. These numbers therefore are not meaningful for some values of bus type.
type KeymapEntry ¶
type PeriodicEffect ¶
type PeriodicEffect struct {
Waveform uint16
Period uint16
Magnitude int16
Offset int16
Phase uint16
Envelope Envelope
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
PeriodicEffect renders periodic force-feedback effects with the following waveforms: Square, Triangle, Sine, Sawtooth or a custom waveform.
func (*PeriodicEffect) Data ¶
func (e *PeriodicEffect) Data() []int16
Data returns custom waveform information. This comes in the form of a signed 16-bit slice.
The exact layout of a custom waveform is undefined for the time being as no driver supports it yet.
func (*PeriodicEffect) SetData ¶
func (e *PeriodicEffect) SetData(v []int16)
SetData sets custom waveform information.
The exact layout of a custom waveform is undefined for the time being as no driver supports it yet.
type RampEffect ¶
RampEffect renders ramp force-feedback effects.
type RumbleEffect ¶
The rumble effect is the most basic effect, it lets the device vibrate. The API contains support for two motors, a strong one and a weak one, which can be controlled independently.
