uinput is a Linux kernel module, which began with the 2.6.0 kernel version, defined as "User level driver support" . Currently in other OS this functionality is not.

However, if you take the same FreeBSD , certain attempts are made to implement, let's say, "related functionality." Here is an example evdev extension for FreeBSD. And, nevertheless, these are still different things.

So the only answer is Linux . But, as they say, Linux is not an operating system, but only a kernel. Linux distributions - have the properties of the "operating system". Also in Android (as in Linux-based OS) - there is support .

  • It seemed to me that this is "User level Input / Output subsystem" - val
  • Judging by the appropriate section of the config - cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/INPUT_UINPUT.html - called "User level driver support" - Majestio

    Although, I do not see a significant difference - the main "Linux kernel module", and this explains a lot. - Majestio
