NAME
hid-recorder - HID Input device recorder.
SYNOPSIS
hid-recorder
hid-recorder [OPTIONS] [/dev/hidrawX]
OPTIONS
-d, --debugfs
use HID debugfs node. Some devices (like "Logitech
USB Receiver" or "Apple Magic Mouse") grabs the hidraw output
leading to an empty output. Fortunately, relying on HID debugfs can help us
most of the time. However, if hte device does report two many events at once
(multitouch panles for example), the HID debugfs node is missing a lot of
events, preventing us to make this the default behaviour.
DESCRIPTION
hid-recorder is a tool that allow users to capture hidraw description and events in order to replay them through the uhid kernel module.
The first invocation type displayed above (without arguments) causes hid-recorder to let the user choose which hidraw she will use, including the name the device.
hid-recorder needs to be able to read from the hidraw device; in most cases this means it must be run as root.
hid-recorder and hid-replay are used to debug kernel issues with HID input devices. The output of hid-recorder has the following syntax:
•# lines comments
•R: size
dump_of_report_descriptor_in_hexadecimal
•N: common_name_of_the_device
•P: physical_path
•I: bus vendor_id product_id
•E: timestamp size
report_in_hexadecimal
EXIT CODE
hid-recorder returns EXIT_FAILURE on error.
