If the recording contains more than one device, all devices are replayed
simultaneously.

.TP 8
.B \-\-replay-after=s

independent of libinput. In other words, updating or otherwise changing
libinput will not alter the output from this tool. libinput itself does not
need to be in use to replay events.
.PP

\fIEV_KEY\fR with a value of 2).
