it's very simple, just gcc and run it from console, I guess you should 
quit X before running it, ctrl-c to exit:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void)
{
  unsigned char buf[10];
  unsigned char last;
  unsigned long counter = 0;

  int fd = open("/dev/psaux", O_RDONLY);
  if(fd == -1) { perror("couldn't open file"); exit(1); }

  while(read(fd, buf, 1) != -1) {
    if( (last == 0) && (buf[0] != 0) ) {
      printf("\n[%010d] ", counter);
    }
    printf("[%03d] ", buf[0]);
    last = buf[0];
    counter++;
  }

  return 0;
}
/* eof */
