Bug Description
I'm trying to create snap package for application that is "driver" for my joystick (remaps buttons, creates virtual joystick):

As I didn't find useful documentation (nor examples) for snap hardware access, so I'd like to ask here:
Can snap package have access to /dev/uinput?
I've already seen, but doesn't seem useful:

I've seen something that might be usefull - Cgroups, but the info is too general:

Can you answer question is such application can be build in snap (and be useful)?
Can snap have access to /dev/uinput?
If yes where to find information about it?
This requires a new interface to be implemented in snapd, in general every type/class of hardware needs an interface, such as the one you found for camera.
FYI, we have a mailing list and irc channel for questions & discussions, see http:// snapcraft. io for details.
