Description: minimal composable infrastructure on top of libudev and libevdev
The Interception Tools is a small set of utilities for operating on
input events of evdev devices.
.
* interception - redirect device input events to stdout
* uinput - redirect device input events from stdin to virtual device
* mux - mux streams of input events
* udevmon - monitor input devices for launching tasks
.
This can accommodate mangling of the keyboard input at the low
level within the Linux kernel and works for any environments
including Wayland, X, and Linux virtual console.
.
The upstream command name 'intercept' is renamed to 'interception' in this
package to avoid the name collision. If you wish to use command names which
the upstream uses, please install the interception-tools-compat package.
