76  * This ioctl sets parameters for the input device to be created.  It

78  * via write(). To actually set the absolute axes UI_ABS_SETUP should be

81  * The ioctl takes a "struct uinput_setup" object as argument. The fields of
82  * this object are as follows:
83  *              id: See the description of "struct input_id". This field is
84  *                  copied unchanged into the new device.
85  *            name: This is used unchanged as name for the new device.
86  *  ff_effects_max: This limits the maximum numbers of force-feedback effects.
87  *                  See below for a description of FF with uinput.
88  *
89  * This ioctl can be called multiple times and will overwrite previous values.
90  * If this ioctl fails with -EINVAL, it is recommended to use the old
91  * "uinput_user_dev" method via write() as a fallback, in case you run on an
92  * old kernel that does not support this ioctl.
93  *
94  * This ioctl may fail with -EINVAL if it is not supported or if you passed
95  * incorrect values, -ENOMEM if the kernel runs out of memory or -EFAULT if the
96  * passed uinput_setup object cannot be read/written.
97  * If this call fails, partial data may have already been applied to the
98  * internal device.
