When calling the new +ioctls, the call signature will look like this: + +``` +ioctl(fd, UI_SET_PHYS_STR(18), "00:11:22:33:44:55"); +``` + +I've tested this on a Chromebook running kernel v4.19 with a sample +program compiled for both 32-bit (i.e. gcc -m32 test.c) and 64-bit. + +The final uinput device looks like this: + +``` +udevadm info -a -p /devices/virtual/input/input18 + +Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then +walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device +found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format. +A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device +and the attributes from one single parent device. + + looking at device '/devices/virtual/input/input18': + KERNEL=="input18" + SUBSYSTEM=="input" + DRIVER=="" + ATTR{inhibited}=="0" + ATTR{name}=="Test" + ATTR{phys}=="00:00:00:33:44:55" + ATTR{properties}=="0" + ATTR{uniq}=="00:11:22:00:00:00" + +```
