feedbackd - A daemon to provide feedback on events

feedbackd [OPTIONS...]

Feedbackd is a daemon that runs in the users session to trigger event feedback such as playing a sound, trigger a haptic motor or blink a LED.

The feedback triggered by a given event is determined by the feedback theme in use (see feedback-themes(5)). Events are submitted via a DBus API.

Any feedback triggered by a client via an event will be stopped latest when the client disconnects from DBus. This makes sure all feedbacks get canceled if the app that triggered it crashes.

For details refer to the event and feedback theme specs at
<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agx/feedbackd/> .

Feedbackd reloads the feedback theme on SIGHUP (i.e. pkill -HUP feedbackd).
