 .SH DESCRIPTION

+xinput is a utility to list available input devices, query information about
+a device and change input device settings.
+.SH OPTIONS

-.B xinput version
-test if the XInput extension is available and return the version number
-of the program.
+.B --version
+Test if the X Input extension is available and return the version number
+of the program and the version supported by the server. This option does not
+require a device name.

-.B xinput list [\fIdevice_name\fP]
-If no argument is given list all the input devices showing all their
-features. If an argument is given, show all the feature of \fIdevice_name\fP.
-Uses XListInputDevices(3).
+.B --list [--short || --long] [\fIdevice\fP]
+If no argument is given list all the input devices. If an argument is given,
+show all the features of \fIdevice\fP. Uses XListInputDevices(3).
+If --long is provided, the output includes detailed information about the
+capabilities of each devices. Otherwise, or if --short is provided, only the
+device names and some minimal information is listed.

-.B xinput set-pointer \fIdevice_name\fP
-Switch \fIdevice_name\fP in core pointer. Uses XChangePointerDevice(3).
+.B --set-pointer \fIdevice\fP
+Switch \fIdevice\fP in core pointer.
+This option does nothing on X servers 1.5 and later.

+.B --set-button-map \fIdevice\fP \fImap_button_1\fP [\fImap_button_2\fP [\fI...\fP]]
+Change the button mapping of \fIdevice\fP. The buttons are specified in
+physical order (starting with button 1) and are mapped to the logical button
+provided. 0 disables a button. The default button mapping for a device is 1
+2 3 4 5 6 etc.
