th-cmd
TH-CMD(1) Triggerhappy daemon TH-CMD(1)
NAME
th-cmd -- triggerhappy commander
SYNOPSIS
th-cmd --socket <socket> [--passfd] [--tag <foo>] [--clear|--enable|--disable|--mode <mode>|--quit|--udev|--add <devices...>|--remove
<devices...>]
DESCRIPTION
This program is used to issue commands to a running triggerhappy daemon. It utilizes an unix domain socket bound by the daemon.
OPTIONS
--socket socket
The socket file opened by the running triggerhappy daemon instance.
--add <devices...>
Instruct the running daemon to open the input devices specified on the command line
--remove <devices...>
Remove specified devices from the running daemon.
--clear
Remove all devices from the running daemon.
--udev
Deduce operation and device name from udev environment (for use in udev rules).
--disable
Disable the execution of triggers.
--enable
Re-enable the execution of triggers.
--mode <newmode>
Change the mode of the triggerhappy daemon to <newmode>. If no new mode is specified, the daemon switches to default mode.
--quit
Terminate the triggerhappy daemon.
--passfd
Instead of instructing the daemon to open the device, open the device and pass the file descriptor to the daemon. This allows the
adding of new devices to a daemon having dropped its privileges, however the th-cmd process must have access to the device file.
--grab
Grab the device; the triggerhappy daemon will try to get exclusive access to the device, other applications will not receive the events
emitted by it.
--tag foo
Label the added device with the tag <foo>; this can be used to limit the scope of event handlers to a subset of input devices.
