package libinput

OCaml bindings for libinput.

• API documentation

This provides access to almost all of the libinput C API. The missing functions are:

• libinput_next_event_type: the OCaml bindings combine the event type and payload, so providing this would require exporting a second large type, and it doesn't seem useful.
• The various *_set_user_data and *_get_user_data functions. Attaching data to callbacks is easy in OCaml, and you can use ephemerons to attach extra data to things if needed.
• Some *_get_context functions, as it's easy to pass the context explicitly in OCaml.
• libinput_device_get_udev_device would only be useful with compatible udev bindings.

examples/simple.ml shows a simple example of using the library. For example:

$ sudo chown "$USER" /dev/input/event2
$ dune exec -- ./examples/simple.exe /dev/input/event2
Adding device "/dev/input/event2"
libinput info: event2  - Logitech USB Optical Mouse: is tagged by udev as: Mouse
libinput info: event2  - Logitech USB Optical Mouse: device is a pointer
