Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Poll Wacom input from "libinput debug-events" in Bash Post 303039710 by mrjpaxton on Sunday 13th of October 2019 04:18:24 AM

Well, okay.

For example, I want to store the output of
Code:
libinput debug-events | grep "TABLET_PAD_BUTTON"

in a variable, but since it grabs the input device (stdin), it doesn't seem possible. I also want the command to exit after 1 second. How would I do that?

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
