DESCRIPTION
     xinput version
	     test if the XInput	extension is available and return
	     the version number	of the program.

     xinput list [device_name]
	     If	no argument is given list all the  input  devices
	     showing all their features. If an argument	is given,
	     show all the feature of device_name.  Uses	 XListIn-
	     putDevices(3).

     xinput get-feedbacks device_name
	     Display the feedbacks of device_name. Uses	XGetFeed-
	     backControl(3).

     xinput set-pointer	device_name
	     Switch   device_name   in	 core	 pointer.    Uses
	     XChangePointerDevice(3).

     xinput set-mode device_name ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE
	     Change  the  mode	of  device_name.  Uses	XSetDevi-
	     ceMode(3).

     xinput set-ptr-feedback device_name threshold num denom
	     Change  the  acceleration	 of   device_name.   Uses
	     XChangeFeedbackControl(3).

     xinput set-integer-feedback device_name index value
	     Change  the  value	 of  an	  integer   feedback   of
	     device_name. Uses XChangeFeedbackControl(3).

     xinput set-button-map device_name map button 1
	     Change the	button mapping of device_name. Uses XSet-
	     DeviceButtonMapping(3).

     xinput set-int-prop device_name property format value
	     Sets an integer property for the device.	Appropri-
	     ate values	for format are 8, 16, or 32, depending on
	     the property.

     xinput set-float-prop device_name property	value
	     Sets a float property for the device.

device_name property
     xinput   set-prop	 [--type=atom|float|int]    [--format=8|16|32]
	     Set  the  property	 to  the  given	value(s).  If not
	     specified,	the format and type of the  property  are
	     left as-is.  The arguments	are interpreted	according
	     to	the property type.

     xinput watch-props	device_name
	     Prints to standard	out when property changes occur.

     xinput delete-prop	device_name property
	     Delete the	property from the device.

     xinput test [-proximity] device_name
	     Register all extended events  from	 device_name  and
	     enter an endless loop displaying events received. If
	     the -proximity is given,  ProximityIn  and	 Proximi-
	     tyOut are registered.

     device_name can be	the device name	as a string or the XID of
