Subject: Udev plus keyboard and mouse (fedora core 5)
Date: Mon, 08 May 2006 16:03:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <web-20955891@cgp8.sentechsa.net> (raw)
Hello everyone.. I need help with identifying device files
for my keyboard and mouse..I am trying to write a c program
to retrieve access times for my keyboard and mouse and
wanted to do it using the stat() system call which require
the file name for each devive file...If they is a better
way to do it please help with that..The reason I am asking
is because the /dev drive seems to be populated with many
ttyXXX files and I can't identify which is which.. The
/dev/input directory also has many files and I can't seem
to locate the correct one.. I am running fedora core 5,
which I understand uses udev for handling device files and
their naming..
The other question I wanted to ask is whether the dynamic
naming of device files also applies to the keyboard and
mouse, and can one handle that in a program if device file
names are not kept static using the udev rules..I am not
really a fan for udev rules, though I had to use them for
my external NTFS harddisk and memory stick..
Thanking you in advance...
