Expand description

Server-side EI protocol.

Use Listener to create a socket, listening for clients creating a new Context.

Modules§

button
Interface for button requests and events.
callback
Interface for ensuring a roundtrip to the EIS implementation. Clients can handle the ‘done’ event to get notified when the related request that created the ei_callback object is done.
connection
The core connection object. This is the top-level object for any communication with the EIS implementation.
device
An ei_device represents a single logical input devices. Like physical input devices an ei_device may have multiple capabilities and may e.g. function as pointer and keyboard.
handshake
This is a special interface to setup the client as seen by the EIS implementation. The object for this interface has the fixed object id 0 and only exists until the connection has been set up, see the ei_handshake.connection event.
keyboard
Interface for keyboard requests and events.
pingpong
Interface for ensuring a roundtrip to the client implementation. This interface is identical to ei_callback but is intended for the EIS implementation to enforce a roundtrip to the client.
pointer
Interface for pointer motion requests and events.
pointer_absolute
Interface for absolute pointer requests and events.
scroll
Interface for scroll requests and events.
seat
An ei_seat represents a set of input devices that logically belong together. In most cases only one seat is present and all input devices on that seat share the same pointer and keyboard focus.
touchscreen
Interface for touchscreen requests and events.
