+# *evdev*
+
+This package provides bindings to the generic input event interface in
+Linux. The *evdev* interface serves the purpose of passing events
+generated in the kernel directly to userspace through character devices
+that are typically located in `/dev/input/`.
+
+This package also comes with bindings to *uinput*, the userspace input
+subsystem. *Uinput* allows userspace programs to create and handle input
+devices that can inject events directly into the input subsystem.
