# [NAME](#NAME)

libinput - tool to interface with libinput

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**libinput \[--help|--version] *<command>* *\[<args>]***

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

libinput is a library to handle input devices and provides device detection and input device event processing for most Wayland compositors and the X.Org xf86-input-libinput driver.

The **libinput** tools are a set of tools to debug, interface with and analyze data for libinput. These tools create libinput contexts separate from that of the compositor/X server and cannot change settings in a running session. See section **COMMANDS** for a list of available commands.

libinput's API documentation and details on features and various high-level concepts are available online at *https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/*

The man page for the X.Org xf86-input-libinput driver is **[libinput(4)](/man/os/libinput/libinput.4).**
