Using uinput driver in Linux-2.6.x to send user

input

Introduction:

The Linux 2.6.x provides a “uinput” driver, which helps users to inject data to the Linux kernel.

This is very useful while writing applications to interface customized input devices like wireless

joystick, keyboard etc.

The driver uses /dev/uinput device to send data to kernel space which in turn send data to Xwindows

OR active shell. This feature can be used to perform automated shell scripts which

involve graphical user inputs.

Uinput is configured as a loadable module in most of the Linux kernels. You can load uinput

driver by giving the following commands.

$ modprobe uinput

$ lsmod

The “lsmod” command lists all the drivers loaded in the Linux system. You should see “uinput”

driver in the list.

The next step is to develop a sample application. This application will send the user key

sequence to kernel which is in turn sent to X-Windows or shell.

Opening an input device:

// Open the input device

uinp_fd = open("/dev/uinput", O_WRONLY | O_NDELAY);

if (uinp_fd == NULL)

{

printf("Unable to open /dev/uinput/n");

return -1;

}

After opening device you have to configure
