GilRs Core

pipeline status Minimum rustc version

This library is minimal event-based abstraction for working with gamepads. If you are looking for something more high level, take a look at gilrs crate.

Platform specific notes

Linux

On Linux, GilRs read (and write, in case of force feedback) directly from appropriate /dev/input/event* file. This means that user has to have read and write access to this file. On most distros it shouldn’t be a problem, but if it is, you will have to create udev rule.

To build GilRs, you will need pkg-config and libudev .pc file. On some distributions this file is packaged in separate archive (for example libudev-dev in Debian).
