.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
evemu\-device creates a virtual input device based on the description\-file\&. This description is usually created by evemu\-describe(1)\&. evemu\-device then creates a new input device with uinput and prints the name and the device file to stdout\&.
.sp
evemu\-play replays the event sequence given on stdin through the input device\&. The event sequence must be in the form created by evemu\-record(1)\&. If the argument is a file containing a recording, evemu\-play creates the device and prompts the user for an interactive replay of the events\&.
.sp
evemu\-event plays exactly one event with the current time\&. If \fB\-\-sync\fR is given, evemu\-event generates an \fBEV_SYN\fR event after the event\&. The event type and code may be specified as the numerical value or the symbolic name from linux/input\&.h\&.
.sp
evemu\-device must be able to write to the uinput device node, and evemu\-play must be able to write to the device node specified; in most cases this means it must be run as root\&.
