input-utils: utilities for the input layer of the Linux kernel: This is a collection of utilities which are useful when working with the input layer of the Linux kernel (version 2.6 and later). Included are utilities to list the input devices known to the kernel, show the input events that are received by a device, and query or modify keyboard maps. Specifically the tools deal with /dev/input/event* input devices.
- lsinput - dumps out all the input devices and the associated details
- input-kbd - dump out the keyboard mapping of a particular event device, must specify the device number such as 'sudo input-kbd 3'
- input-events - observe input events for watching a specific input device, must specify the device number such as 'sudo input-events 3'
