Possibly +with a configuration file / small scripting language. + +Filtering could be done either with another program, or integrated into +clone-device; since filtering makes no sense if you do not also create a new +device. OTOH, if you're doing much more than filtering, like injection or +rewriting, then it makes more sense to give a different name, maybe +input-modify? + + +Problems: +- We cannot just pass around struct input_event ; endianness may become an issue +- We cannot perform ioctls to read all the events/buttons exposed by a device +over the network. I suggest that by design these are just passed over the +network once. (As they cannot change at runtime anyway) + +- We need a proper configuration file or scripting language. Although I guess +the C macros work fine for now. We can even make a nice Makefile that generates +seperate binaries per config: +make my_config # uses config/my_config.h to generate map-my_config
