## Detailed Description

Events that come from tools on tablet devices.

For events from the pad, see Tablet pad events.

Events from tablet devices are exposed by two interfaces, tools and pads. Tool events originate (usually) from a stylus-like device, pad events reflect any events originating from the physical tablet itself.

Note that many tablets support touch events. These are exposed through the LIBINPUT_DEVICE_CAP_POINTER interface (for external touchpad-like devices such as the Wacom Intuos series) or LIBINPUT_DEVICE_CAP_TOUCH interface (for built-in touchscreen-like devices such as the Wacom Cintiq series).

uint64_t libinput_tablet_tool_get_serial | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return the serial number of a tool.

If the tool does not report a serial number, this function returns zero. See Tracking unique tools for details.

Parameters

  tool | The libinput tool

Returns
  The tool serial number

  libinput_tablet_tool_is_unique

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_get_tool_id()

uint64_t libinput_tablet_tool_get_tool_id | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return the tool ID for a tool object.

If nonzero, this number identifies the specific type of the tool with more precision than the type returned in libinput_tablet_tool_get_type(), see Vendor-specific tablet tool types. Not all tablets support a tool ID.

Tablets known to support tool IDs include the Wacom Intuos 3, 4, 5, Wacom Cintiq and Wacom Intuos Pro series.

Parameters

  tool | The libinput tool

Returns
  The tool ID for this tool object or 0 if none is provided

  libinput_tablet_tool_get_type

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_get_type()

enum libinput_tablet_tool_type libinput_tablet_tool_get_type | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return the tool type for a tool object, see Vendor-specific tablet tool types for details.

Parameters

  tool | The libinput tool

Returns
  The tool type for this tool object

See also
  libinput_tablet_tool_get_tool_id

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_get_user_data()

void* libinput_tablet_tool_get_user_data | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return the user data associated with a tool object.

libinput does not manage, look at, or modify this data. The caller must ensure the data is valid.

Parameters

  tool | The libinput tool

Returns
  The user data associated with the tool object

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_has_button()

int libinput_tablet_tool_has_button | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool,
|  | uint32_t | code
| ) |  |

Check if a tablet tool has a button with the passed-in code (see linux/input.h).

Parameters

  tool | A tablet tool
  code | button code to check for

Returns
  1 if the tool supports this button code, 0 if it does not

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_has_distance()

int libinput_tablet_tool_has_distance | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return whether the tablet tool supports distance.

Parameters

  tool | The tool to check the axis capabilities of

Returns
  Nonzero if the axis is available, zero otherwise.

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_has_pressure()

int libinput_tablet_tool_has_pressure | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return whether the tablet tool supports pressure.

Parameters

  tool | The tool to check the axis capabilities of

Returns
  Nonzero if the axis is available, zero otherwise.

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_has_rotation()

int libinput_tablet_tool_has_rotation | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return whether the tablet tool supports z-rotation.

Parameters

  tool | The tool to check the axis capabilities of

Returns
  Nonzero if the axis is available, zero otherwise.

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_has_slider()

int libinput_tablet_tool_has_slider | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return whether the tablet tool has a slider axis.

Parameters

  tool | The tool to check the axis capabilities of

Returns
  Nonzero if the axis is available, zero otherwise.

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_has_tilt()

int libinput_tablet_tool_has_tilt | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return whether the tablet tool supports tilt.

Parameters

  tool | The tool to check the axis capabilities of

Returns
  Nonzero if the axis is available, zero otherwise.

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_has_wheel()

int libinput_tablet_tool_has_wheel | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return whether the tablet tool has a relative wheel.

Parameters

  tool | The tool to check the axis capabilities of

Returns
  Nonzero if the axis is available, zero otherwise.

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_is_unique()

int libinput_tablet_tool_is_unique | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Return nonzero if the physical tool can be uniquely identified by libinput, or nonzero otherwise.

If a tool can be uniquely identified, keeping a reference to the tool allows tracking the tool across proximity out sequences and across compatible tablets. See Tracking unique tools for more details.

Parameters

  tool | A tablet tool

Returns
  1 if the tool can be uniquely identified, 0 otherwise.

  libinput_tablet_tool_get_serial

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_ref()

struct libinput_tablet_tool* libinput_tablet_tool_ref | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Increment the reference count of the tool by one.

A tool is destroyed whenever the reference count reaches 0. See libinput_tablet_tool_unref().

Parameters

  tool | The tool to increment the ref count of

Returns
  The passed tool

See also
  libinput_tablet_tool_unref

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_set_user_data()

void libinput_tablet_tool_set_user_data | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool,
|  | void * | user_data
| ) |  |

Set the user data associated with a tool object, if any.

Parameters

  tool | The libinput tool
  user_data | The user data to associate with the tool object

## ◆ libinput_tablet_tool_unref()

struct libinput_tablet_tool* libinput_tablet_tool_unref | ( | struct libinput_tablet_tool * | tool | ) |

Decrement the reference count of the tool by one.

When the reference count of the tool reaches 0, the memory allocated for the tool will be freed.

Parameters

  tool | The tool to decrement the ref count of

Returns
  NULL if the tool was destroyed otherwise the passed tool
