+ "libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. it moves the common
+tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library
+interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc.
+
+The eventual goal is that libevdev wraps all ioctls available to evdev
+devices, thus making direct access unnecessary.")
