Thanks for your reply.

I have one more question:

I want to use return code in another program. Right now I am using Echo to get 1 or 0. How can I use return code so that I can capture 1 or 0.

Thanks!

evtest-capture

EVTEST-CAPTURE(1)														 EVTEST-CAPTURE(1)

NAME

       evtest-capture - Input device event capture program

SYNOPSIS

       evtest-capture "/dev/input/eventX" [evtest-capture.xml]

DESCRIPTION

       evtest-capture captures the information and events from the input device specified on the command line and writes it to the xml file given.
       If no filename is given for the output file, evtest-capture.xml is chosen as default.

       evtest-capture needs to be able to read from the device; in most cases this means it must be run as root.

       Together with with evtest-create-device.xsl, a simple uinput-based software input device can be created that replays the events as if the
       same input was performed on the physical device. This can be useful to replicate bugs with input devices in upper layers of the stack.

       To convert evtest-capture.xml into such a uinput device, run:

	   xsltproc evtest-create-device.xls evtest-capture.xml > mydevice.c
	   gcc -o mydevice mydevice.c
	   ./mydevice

DIAGNOSTICS

       If evtest-capture does not see any events even though the device is being used, the device may be grabbed by a process (EVIOCGRAB). This is
       usually the case when debugging a synaptics device from within X. VT switching to a TTY or shutting down the X server terminates this grab
       and synaptics devices can be debugged.
