+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.
