+interface in Linux. The @command{evdev} interface serves the purpose of
+passing events generated in the kernel directly to userspace through character
+devices that are typically located in @command{/dev/input/}.
+
+This package also comes with bindings to @command{uinput}, the userspace input
+subsystem. @command{uinput} allows userspace programs to create and handle
+input devices that can inject events directly into the input subsystem.")
