The input_noticer will iterate through all devices that HAL returns with the given Capabilities field (see above) , and look for the user-supplied substring. The corresponding linux.device_file field is returned , which will be something like "/dev/input/event6". This can be used to connect to objects like [hid].; #X text 127 10 <- BANG to scan for devices , outputs any that are found; #X text 59 469 USING input_noticer output:; #X text 63 489 Output from input_noticer is a list , like 0 , /dev/input/event5 1 , /dev/input/event6; #X text 61 535 Use [route] to separate the messages , and you'll have just the second list element , like /dev/input/event5; #X text 109 611 5 means /dev/input/event5; #X text 661 60 In linux , this references the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) Capabilities field for the device. You can have a look at what your favorite device has by using the HAL Device Manager , and look at the "Device" tab of the most specific entry for your input device.
