+Summary
+=======
+evtest is a tool to print evdev kernel events. It reads directly from the
+kernel device and prints a device description and the events with the value
+and the symbolic name.
+
+Usage:
+ evtest /dev/input/event0
+
+Note: in most cases evtest needs to run as root to be able to read the
+devices.
+
+For more information, see the evtest(1) man page.
