giiEventSend(3) Inject an event into the input

SYNOPSIS


#include <ggi/gii.h>
int giiEventSend(gii_input_t inp, gii_event *ev);

DESCRIPTION

giiEventSend injects an event into the queue. Such events can be identified by (event->any.target == GII_EV_TARGET_QUEUE). There are three main uses for this function:
1
Simulating input for independent subprograms.
2
Sending events to externally attached programs via specialized inputs, that are actually rather outputs.
3
Sending command events to inputs, like querying the axis of a valuator device.

RETURN VALUE

giiEventSend returns 0 on success, or an gii-error(3) code otherwise.
