[PATCH xev v2] Add a -event parameter to control the event mask

Mon Jun 25 15:36:23 PDT 2012


It's annoying to have to sift through a lot of unrelated events if all you care
about is one specific class of events (e.g. RandR events).  Add a -event
parameter that can be used to tune which events to select.  When not specified,
all events are selected.

v2: Document that you can specify -event multiple times.
