Add functionality to query evdev state of a specific key, switch, button,
LED or sound event. This is useful in programs such as powerd
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Powerd) which need to query things like the
state of the laptop lid switch from shell code.

Original capture-mode functionality is left unchanged and is still
activated by default. New usage modes are explained in the man page.

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-evtest displays information on the input device specified on the command
-line, including all the events supported by the device. It then monitors the
-device and displays all the events layer events generated.
+The first invocation type displayed above ("capture mode") causes evtest to
+display information about the specified input device, including all the events
+supported by the device. It then monitors the device and displays all the
+events layer events generated.
+
+In the second invocation type ("query mode"), evtest performs a one-shot query
+of the state of a specific key *value* of an event *type*.
+
+*type* is one of: *EV_KEY*, *EV_SW*, *EV_SND*, *EV_LED* (or the numerical 
value)
+
+*value* can be either a decimal representation (e.g. 44), hex
+(e.g. 0x2c), or the constant name (e.g. KEY_Z) of the key/switch/sound/LED
+being queried.
+
+If the state bit is set (key pressed, switch on, ...), evtest exits with
+code 0. If the state bit is unset (key depressed, switch off, ...), evtest
+exits with code 10. No other output is generated.
 
 evtest needs to be able to read from the device; in most cases this means it
 must be run as root.
