Expand description

Encapsulates a socket or device node into an abstract event source, providing a common interface. It supports read and write operations to provide and accept events just like an event device node would, except that it handles virtio_input_event instead of input_event structures. It’s necessary to call receive_events() before events are available for read.

Required Methods§

source

fn receive_events(&mut self) -> Result<usize>

Receive events from the source, filters them and stores them in a queue for future consumption by reading from this object. Returns the number of new non filtered events received. This function may block waiting for events to be available.
