The Linux uinput subsystem provides low-level access to the Kernel for the
purposes of creating and manipulating virtual devices. This library was created
and is maintained to satisfy requirements of the Multiverse OS Go language
library vinput. The library vinput provides an abstraction layer ontop of
the uinput subsystem; specifically designed to simplfiy creation of virtual
devices for the purposes of user input automation.
It makes sense to provides uinput as a separate library, one that simply
focuses on interaction with the uinput subsystem and provides very little
abstraction over the existing protocol. So ideally it can be used by a wide
range of applications beyond our use in vinput.
Initialization of a uinput device is done using a function chain used to modify defaults.
Unlike many other implementations, this one requires connecting the virtual device after creating it. Which allows the developer to disconnect and reconnect the virtual devices as needed.
// Simpliest initialization
kbd := Keyboard.New("device-name").Connect()
