Basic libevdev binding for node.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

var Evdev = require('nodeevdev');

var dev = Evdev.create();
dev.open( '/dev/input/event1', function(obj, err) {
	if( err ) {
		console.log("Evdev: Failed to open device: "+err);
		return false;
	}
	dev['data'] = function(data) {
		console.log("Evdev event: "+JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

// Hack to prevent Node.js from exiting, sorry.
var http = require('http');

Returns an initialised evdev object.

• Returns: An initialised evdev object.

Open an evdev device, associate it to this object, and fire the provided callback upon completion.

The parameters passed to the provided callback function are evdevObject which is a reference to the evdev object, and error which will be an error string in the case of an error, or undefined on success.

• Returns: A reference to itself.

A virtual method of the evdevObject. Reimplement it to handle evdevEvents. It can be ignored, but if you ignore it, you might as well not use this module at all.

A virtual method of the evdevObject. Reimplement it to react to the device being closed. Otherwise it can be ignored.
