Thin userspace library on top of Linux uinput kernel module.

============ Libsuinput

Uinput is Linux kernel module which allows attaching userspace device drivers into the Linux kernel. However, its ioctl-interface is pretty low level from an application developer's perspective. This library provides a set of helper functions for making the usage of uinput easier. Libsuinput can be considered thin, because it operates on the same file descriptors as traditional ioctl commands.
