  Description     : input device management and event handling library

libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and
other applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

It provides device detection, device handling, input device event
processing and abstraction so minimize the amount of custom input
code the user of libinput need to provide the common set of
functionality that users expect.

This library will be used by weston (the code originally comes from
the input handling code in weston) and other wayland compositors,
and may be used by other systems, toolkits or applications that need
to deal with input directly.

The ABI is not stable yet (though there are no big changes planned).
