Example of code using it:

let device_path : String = get_input_devices().iter().nth(0).expect("Problem with iterator").to_string();
    let mut reader = InputReader::new(device_path);
    loop {
        let input = reader.current_state();
        if input.is_key_event(){
            println!("Key {:?} now has state {:?}", input.get_key(), input.event_type());
        }
    }
