Name

giiEventSend — Inject an event into the input

Synopsis

#include <ggi/gii.h>
int giiEventSend(inp,  
 ev); 
gii_input_t  inp;
gii_event * ev;

Description

giiEventSend injects an event into the queue. Such events can be identified by (event->any.target == GII_EV_TARGET_QUEUE). There are three main uses for this function:

  • "Simulating" input for independent subprograms.

  • Sending events to externally attached programs via specialized "inputs", that are actually rather "outputs".

  • Sending command events to inputs, like querying the axis of a valuator device.

Return value

giiEventSend returns 0 on success, or an error code otherwise.
