DESCRIPTION

15       libwacom-list-local-devices is a debug utility to list connected tablet
16       devices  identified  by libwacom. It is usually used to check whether a
17       libwacom data file is correct, present and/or applies to a specific de‐
18       vice.

OPTIONS

21       --format=oneline|datafile
22               Sets  the output format to be used. If oneline, the output for‐
23               mat is a one-line format comprising the  device  name  and  the
24               event nodes.  If datafile, the output format matches the tablet
25               data files. The default is oneline.
26
27       --database /path/do/datadir
28               Sets the data directory path to be used. This  is  only  useful
29               when testing against a modified data path. Only libwacom devel‐
30               opers need this option.

NOTES

33       The Linux kernel provides separate /dev/input/event* nodes for the sty‐
34       lus,  the pad and the touch part of the tablet. These devices nodes are
35       listed as part of this tool's output.
36
37       This tool is unable to distinguish between multiple identical  devices.
38       Only  one such device will be listed, with all event nodes from all de‐
39       vices that are of the same type.
