 may be used.

+Event types
 ===========
+
 Event types are groupings of codes under a logical input construct. Each
 type has a set of applicable codes to be used in generating events. See the
 Codes section for details on valid codes for each type.
 
 * EV_SYN:
+
   - Used as markers to separate events. Events may be separated in time or in
     space, such as with the multitouch protocol.
 
 * EV_KEY:
+
   - Used to describe state changes of keyboards, buttons, or other key-like
     devices.
 
 * EV_REL:
+
   - Used to describe relative axis value changes, e.g. moving the mouse 5 units
     to the left.
 
 * EV_ABS:
+
   - Used to describe absolute axis value changes, e.g. describing the
     coordinates of a touch on a touchscreen.
 
 * EV_MSC:
+
   - Used to describe miscellaneous input data that do not fit into other types.
 
 * EV_SW:
+
   - Used to describe binary state input switches.
 
 * EV_LED:
+
   - Used to turn LEDs on devices on and off.
 
 * EV_SND:
+
   - Used to output sound to devices.
 
 * EV_REP:
+
   - Used for autorepeating devices.
 
 * EV_FF:
+
   - Used to send force feedback commands to an input device.
 
 * EV_PWR:
+
   - A special type for power button and switch input.
 
 * EV_FF_STATUS:
+
   - Used to receive force feedback device status.

 EV_SYN event values are undefined. Their usage is defined only by when they are
 sent in the evdev event stream.
 
 * SYN_REPORT:
+
   - Used to synchronize and separate events into packets of input data changes
     occurring at the same moment in time. For example, motion of a mouse may set
     the REL_X and REL_Y values for one motion, then emit a SYN_REPORT. The next
     motion will emit more REL_X and REL_Y values and send another SYN_REPORT.
 
 * SYN_CONFIG:
+
   - TBD
 
 * SYN_MT_REPORT:
+
   - Used to synchronize and separate touch events. See the
     multi-touch-protocol.txt document for more information.
 
 * SYN_DROPPED:
+
   - Used to indicate buffer overrun in the evdev client's event queue.
     Client should ignore all events up to and including next SYN_REPORT
     event and query the device (using EVIOCG* ioctls) to obtain its
     current state.
