+ *
+ * This is the uinput-mapper configuration file.
+ *
+ * We are still working out all the details, but it basically boils down to the
+ * following: You write the configuration entirely in the C preprocessor by
+ * adding the right commands (macros) to the right sections.
+ *
+ *
+ * As of now, there are three sections:
+ *
+ * - GLOBAL_MAP;
+ *   This is where you set the amount of devices to be emulated (currently
+ *   called JOYCOUNT) and the INPUT_PATH.
+ *
+ * - CONFIGURE_JOYSTICKS:
+ *   This is where you tell uinput-mapper what buttons your new joysticks (or
+ *   other devices) should expose. Any button not exposed here will never be
+ *   send.
+ *
+ *   Macros that make sense to use here:
+ *   - JOYSTICK_ADD_KEY(<key>, <bit to set>, <device>)
+ *   - JOYSTICK_SET_LIM(<absmin|absmax>, <value>, <key>)
+ *
+ *   JOYSTICK_SET_LIM is mostly used for ABS_HATs.
+ *
+ * - JOYMAP:
+ *
+ *   Set the key mappings here.
+ *
+ *   Macros that make sense here:
+ *   - KEYMAP(<in_key>, <out_key>, <out_type>, <device>, <val>)
+ *
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * TODO:
+ * - For KEYMAPs, add parameter that species the INPUT_PATH to map from
+ * - Add support for multiple INPUT_PATH
+ * - Figure out more details. There's probably a lot missing.
+ * - Remove EV_KEY constraint in map.c and use it as arg to KEY_MAP
+ *
