Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating relative pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc. libinput is not used directly by applications. Think of it more as a device driver than an application library. See :ref:`what_is_libinput` for more details. -------------------- Users and Developers -------------------- Please use the side-bar to nagivate through the various documentation items. ----------------- API documentation ----------------- The API documentation is available here: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/api/ .. note:: This documentation is generally only needed by authors of Wayland compositors or other developers dealing with input events directly. ------- License ------- libinput is licensed under the MIT license .. code-block:: none Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: [...] See the `COPYING `_ file for the full license information. .....
