+.Sh NAME
+.Nm uhid
+.Nd USB generic HID support
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "uhid* at uhub?"
+.Pp
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for all HID (Human Interface Device) interfaces
+in USB devices that do not have a special driver.
+.Pp
+The device handles the following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It Dv USB_GET_REPORT_DESC (struct usb_ctl_report_desc)
+Get the HID report descriptor. Using
+this descriptor the exact layout and meaning of data to/from
+the device can be found. The report descriptor is delivered
+without any processing.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_ctl_report_desc {
+ int size;
+ u_char data[1024]; /* filled data size will vary */
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_SET_IMMED (int)
+Sets the device in a mode where each
+.Xr read 2
+will return the current value of the input report. Normally
+a
+.Xr read 2
+will only return the data that the device reports on its
+interrupt pipe. This call may fail if the device does not support
+this feature.
+.It Dv USB_GET_REPORT (struct usb_ctl_report)
+Get a report from the device without waiting for data on
+the interrupt pipe. The
+.Dv report
+field indicates which report is requested. It should be
+.Dv UHID_INPUT_REPORT ,
+.Dv UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT ,
+or
+.Dv UHID_FEATURE_REPORT .
+This call may fail if the device does not support
+this feature.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_ctl_report {
+ int report;
+ u_char data[1024]; /* filled data size will vary */
+};
+.Ed
+.El
+.Pp
+Use
+.Xr read 2
+to get data from the device. Data should be read in chunks of the
+size prescribed by the report descriptor.
+.Pp
+Use
+.Xr write 2
+send data to the device. Data should be written in chunks of the
+size prescribed by the report descriptor.
