INPUTPLUG(1) INPUTPLUG(1) NAME inputplug - XInput event monitor SYNOPSIS inputplug [-v] [-n] [-d] [-0] -c command-prefix inputplug [-h|--help] DESCRIPTION inputplug is a daemon which connects to a running X server and monitors its XInput hierarchy change events. Such events arrive when a device is being attached or removed, enabled or disabled etc. When a hierarchy change happens, inputplug parses the event notification structure, and calls the command specified by command-prefix. The command receives four arguments: command-prefix event-type device-id device-type device-name Event type may be one of the following: * XIMasterAdded * XIMasterRemoved * XISlaveAdded * XISlaveRemoved * XISlaveAttached * XISlaveDetached * XIDeviceEnabled * XIDeviceDisabled Device type may be any of those: * XIMasterPointer * XIMasterKeyboard * XISlavePointer * XISlaveKeyboard * XIFloatingSlave Device identifier is an integer. The device name may have embedded spaces.
