  25 .B xinput list [\fIdevice_name\fP]
  26 If no argument is given list all the input devices showing all their
  27 features. If an argument is given, show all the feature of \fIdevice_name\fP.
  28 Uses XListInputDevices(3).
  29 .PP
  30 .TP 8
  31 .B xinput get-feedbacks \fIdevice_name\fP
  32 Display the feedbacks of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XGetFeedbackControl(3).
  33 .PP
  34 .TP 8
  35 .B xinput set-pointer \fIdevice_name\fP
  36 Switch \fIdevice_name\fP in core pointer. Uses XChangePointerDevice(3).
  37 .PP
  38 .TP 8
  39 .B xinput set-mode \fIdevice_name\fP \fIABSOLUTE|RELATIVE\fP
  40 Change the mode of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XSetDeviceMode(3).
  41 .PP
  42 .TP 8
  43 .B xinput set-ptr-feedback \fIdevice_name\fP \fIthreshold\fP \fInum\fP \fIdenom\fP
  44 Change the acceleration of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3).
  45 .PP
  46 .TP 8
  47 .B xinput set-integer-feedback \fIdevice_name\fP \fIindex\fP \fIvalue\fP
  48 Change the value of an integer feedback of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3).
  49 .PP
  50 .TP 8
  51 .B xinput set-button-map \fIdevice_name\fP \fImap button 1\fP [\fImap button 2\fP [\fI...\fP]]
  52 Change the button mapping of \fIdevice_name\fP. Uses XSetDeviceButtonMapping(3).
  53 .PP
  54 .TP 8
  55 .B xinput query-state \fIdevice_name\fP
  56 Query the device state. Uses XQueryDeviceState(3).
  57 .PP
  58 .TP 8
  59 .B xinput test [-proximity] \fIdevice_name\fP
  60 Register all extended events from \fIdevice_name\fP and enter an endless
  61 loop displaying events received. If the -proximity is given, ProximityIn
  62 and ProximityOut are registered.
  63 .PP
  64 \fIdevice_name\fP can be the device name as a string or the XID of the
  65 device.
