NAME
giiEventSend - inject an event into the input
SYNOPSIS
#include <ggi/gii.h>
int giiEventSend(gii_input_t inp, gii_event *ev); .SH "DESCRIPTION"
giiEventSend injects an event into the queue. Such events can be identified by (event->any.target == GII_EV_TARGET_QUEUE). There are three main uses for this function:
- •
-
"Simulating" input for independent subprograms.
- •
-
Sending events to externally attached programs via specialized "inputs", that are actually rather "outputs".
- •
-
Sending command events to inputs, like querying the axis of a valuator device.
RETURN VALUE
giiEventSend returns 0 on success, or an error code otherwise.
