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-feed-back [set-integer-feedback
       back device_name index value] [set-button-map device_name map button 1 [map button 2 [...]]]  [query-state [querystate
       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
               Change the mode of device_name. Uses XSetDeviceMode(3).


       xinput set-ptr-feedback device_name threshold num denom
               Change the acceleration of device_name. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3).


       xinput set-integer-feedback device_name index value
               Change the value of an integer feedback of device_name. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3).


       xinput set-button-map device_name map button 1 [map button 2 [...]]
               Change the button mapping of device_name. Uses XSetDeviceButtonMapping(3).


       xinput query-state device_name
               Query the device state. Uses XQueryDeviceState(3).


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


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


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


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



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

       device_name 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.
