+ydotoold - daemon for \fBydotool\fR(1)
+.P
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.P
+\fBydotoold\fR
+.P
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+\fBydotool\fR lets you programmatically (or manually) simulate
+keyboard input and mouse activity, etc.\& It does this by writing
+directly to \fB/dev/uinput\fR so it generally needs to run as root.\&
+.P
+When \fBydotool\fR(1) runs and creates a virtual input device, it will take some time for your graphical environment (eg X11/Wayland) to recognize and enable the virtual input device.\& (Usually done by udev)
+.P
+If the delay is too short, the virtual input device may not be recognized & enabled by the graphical environment in time.\&
+.P
+In order to solve this problem, the \fBydotoold\fR background service holds a persistent virtual device, and accepts input from \fBydotool\fR(1).\& When \fBydotoold\fR(1) is unavailable, \fBydotool\fR(1) will work without it.\&
