History

Norman Feske 4d442bca30 Streamline exception types This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types. Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable', 'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args', 'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in 'session/session.h'. This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems (catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different scope).		2017-05-31 13:16:07 +02:00

README

This component merges the input events of multiple sources.

Example configuration:

<start name="input_merger">
	<resource name="RAM" quantum="1M" />
	<provides>
		<service name="Input" />
	</provides>
	<config>
		<input label="ps2" />
		<input label="usb_hid" />
	</config>
	<route>
		<service name="Input" label="ps2">
			<child name="ps2_drv"/> </service>
		<service name="Input" label="usb_hid">
			<child name="usb_drv" /> </service>
		<any-service> <parent /> <any-child /> </any-service>
	</route>
</start>

For each 'input' config node, the component opens an 'Input' session with the
configured label. This label is then evaluated by 'init' to route the session
request to a specific input source component.
