NAME

       xinput - utility to configure and test X input devices

SYNOPSIS

       xinput [OPTIONS] [DEVICE]

DESCRIPTION

       xinput is a utility to list available input devices, query information about a device and change input device settings.

OPTIONS

       --version
	       Test  if  the  X Input extension is available and return the version number of the program and the version supported by the server.
	       This option does not require a device name.

       --list [--short || --long] [device]
	       If no argument is given list all the input devices. If an argument is given, show all the features of  device.  Uses  XListInputDe-
	       vices(3).  If --long is provided, the output includes detailed information about the capabilities of each devices. Otherwise, or if
	       --short is provided, only the device names and some minimal information is listed.

       --get-feedbacks device
	       Display the feedbacks of device.

       --set-pointer device
	       Switch device in core pointer.  This option does nothing on X servers 1.5 and later.

       --set-mode device ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE
	       Change the mode of device.

       --set-ptr-feedback device threshold num denom
	       Change the acceleration of device.

       --set-integer-feedback device index value
	       Change the value of an integer feedback of device.

       --set-button-map device map_button_1 [map_button_2 [...]]
	       Change the button mapping of device. The buttons are specified in physical order (starting with button 1) and  are  mapped  to  the
	       logical button provided. 0 disables a button. The default button mapping for a device is 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc.

       --query-state device
	       Query the device state.

       --list-props device [device [...]]
	       Lists properties that can be set for the given device(s).

       --set-int-prop device property format value
	       Sets  an  integer  property for the device.  Appropriate values for format are 8, 16, or 32, depending on the property. Deprecated,
	       use --set-prop instead.

       --set-float-prop device property value
	       Sets a float property for the device. Deprecated, use --set-prop instead.

       --set-prop [--type=atom|float|int] [--format=8|16|32] device property value [...]
	       Set the property to the given value(s).	If not specified, the format and type of the property are left as-is.  The  arguments  are
	       interpreted according to the property type.

       --watch-props device
	       Prints to standard out when property changes occur.

       --delete-prop device property
	       Delete the property from the device.

       --test [-proximity] device
	       Register all extended events from device and enter an endless loop displaying events received. If the -proximity is given, Proximi-
	       tyIn and ProximityOut are registered.

       --test_xi2
	       Register for a number of XI2 events and display them. This option does not take a device argument.

       device can be the device name as a string or the XID of the device.

       property can be the property as a string or the Atom value.

NAME

       xinput - utility to configure and test XInput devices

SYNOPSIS

       xinput  [version] [list [device_name]] [set-pointer device_name] [get-feedbacks device_name] [set-mode device_name ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE] [set-
       ptr-feedback device_name threshold num denom] [set-integer-feedback device_name index value] [set-button-map device_name map button 1  [map
       button 2 [...]]]  [query-state device_name] [test [-proximity] device_name]

DESCRIPTION

       xinput version
	       test if the XInput extension is available and return the version number of the program.

       xinput list [device_name]
	       If  no  argument  is  given list all the input devices showing all their features. If an argument is given, show all the feature of
	       device_name.  Uses XListInputDevices(3).

       xinput get-feedbacks device_name
	       Display the feedbacks of device_name. Uses XGetFeedbackControl(3).

       xinput set-pointer device_name
	       Switch device_name in core pointer. Uses XChangePointerDevice(3).

       xinput set-mode device_name ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE
