.SH DESCRIPTION
.TP 8
.B xinput version
test if the XInput extension is available and return the version number
of the program.
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput list [\fIdevice_name\fP]
If no argument is given list all the input devices showing all their
features. If an argument is given, show all the feature of \fIdevice_name\fP.
Uses XListInputDevices(3).
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput get-feedbacks \fIdevice_name\fP
Display the feedbacks of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XGetFeedbackControl(3).
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput set-pointer \fIdevice_name\fP
Switch \fIdevice_name\fP in core pointer. Uses XChangePointerDevice(3).
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput set-mode \fIdevice_name\fP \fIABSOLUTE|RELATIVE\fP
Change the mode of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XSetDeviceMode(3).
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput set-ptr-feedback \fIdevice_name\fP \fIthreshold\fP \fInum\fP \fIdenom\fP
Change the acceleration of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3).
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput set-integer-feedback \fIdevice_name\fP \fIindex\fP \fIvalue\fP
Change the value of an integer feedback of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3).
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput set-button-map \fIdevice_name\fP \fImap button 1\fP [\fImap button 2\fP [\fI...\fP]]
Change the button mapping of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XSetDeviceButtonMapping(3).
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput query-state \fIdevice_name\fP
Query the device state. Uses XQueryDeviceState(3).
.PP
.TP 8
.B xinput test [-proximity] \fIdevice_name\fP
Register all extended events from \fIdevice_name\fP and enter an endless
loop displaying events received. If the -proximity is given, ProximityIn
and ProximityOut are registered.
.PP
\fIdevice_name\fP can be the device name as a string or the XID of the
device.
