Input: Add EVIOC mechanism for MT slots
This patch adds the ability to extract MT slot data via a new ioctl, EVIOCGMTSLOTS. The function returns an array of slot values for the specified ABS_MT event type. Example of user space usage: struct { unsigned code; int values[64]; } req; req.code = ABS_MT_POSITION_X; if (ioctl(fd, EVIOCGMTSLOTS(sizeof(req)), &req) < 0) return -1; for (i = 0; i < 64; i++) printf("slot %d: %d\n", i, req.values[i]); Reviewed-by: Chase Douglas <chase.douglas@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se>
