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 the uinput device parameters (mouse, keyboard,
etc) using the ioctl() function such as:
ioctl (out_fd, UI_SET_EVBIT, EV_KEY);
ioctl (out_fd, UI_SET_EVBIT, EV_REP);
The EV_KEY and EV_REP inform the uinput driver as the event is a keyboard event and the
key value contains the key repetition property.

Sending events to kernel:
All the events coming from the user program will be carried to the kernel space through the
structure "struct input_event" defined in kernels "/usr/include/linux/input.h".
A keyboard can be generated using following piece of code:
event.type = EV_KEY;
event.code = KEY_ENTER;
event.value = 1;
write (uinp_fd, &event, sizeof(event));
The above example will send ENTER key to kernel. This key event in-turn will be sent to user
space application. All the key definitions are defined in “/usr/include/linux/input.h” file.
You can use the following sample code to test Linux uinput interface.
// uinput.c
#include

static int uinp_fd = -1;
struct uinput_user_dev uinp; // uInput device structure
struct input_event event; // Input device structure
/* Setup the uinput device */
int setup_uinput_device()
{
// Temporary variable
int i=0;
// 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;
}
memset(&uinp,0,sizeof(uinp)); // Intialize the uInput device to NULL
strncpy(uinp.name, "PolyVision Touch Screen", UINPUT_MAX_NAME_SIZE);
uinp.id.version = 4;
uinp.id.bustype = BUS_USB;
// Setup the uinput device
ioctl(uinp_fd, UI_SET_EVBIT, EV_KEY);
ioctl(uinp_fd, UI_SET_EVBIT, EV_REL);
