Back to search · Project homepage

Description

libei is a library for Emulated Input, primarily aimed at the Wayland stack. It uses a typical client/server separation, with the two parts connected via a UNIX socket. In libei parlance, the client-side is called "EI client", the server side, typically a Wayland compositor, is called the "EIS Implementation" (Emulated Input Server). These terms are used throughout this documentation.
