+evtest — Kernel input device debugging
+======================================
+
evtest is a tool to print evdev kernel events. It reads directly from the
kernel device and prints a device description and the events with the value
and the symbolic name.
Usage:
- evtest /dev/input/event0
+
+ evtest /dev/input/event0
Note: in most cases evtest needs to run as root to be able to read the
devices.
For more information, see the evtest(1) man page.
