Description-en: server daemon for receiving user input events - development files
This package provides a remote input server daemon which listens for
connections from rinput clients (such as mobile phone applications). These
authenticate via a secure SSL socket through the Cyrus SASL password
database, /etc/sasldb2. The uinput user input event interface can
then create virtual devices such as a keyboard and mouse under the
remote control of the client.
.
This package contains a header defining rinput protocol values.
