• Light on dependencies.
• FreeBSD compatibility.
• async support via Tokio or async-io.

Cargo Features

Rust Support

This library targets the latest Rust version.

Older Rust versions are supported by equally older versions of this crate. For example, to use a version of Rust that was succeeded 6 months ago, you'd also use an at least 6 month old version of this library.

Compatibility with older Rust versions may be provided on a best-effort basis.

Development

Testing

The crate is tested using end-to-end tests that create a virtual uinput device and then open it. This means the user running the tests needs to have permission to write to /dev/uinput and the input devices in /dev/input/event*.
