.Dt UHID 4
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm uhid
.Nd USB generic HID support
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "uhid* at uhidev?"
.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:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Dv USB_GET_REPORT_ID (int)
Get the report identifier used by this HID report.
.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
.Fa 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]; /* used data size will vary */
};
.Ed
.It Dv USB_SET_REPORT (struct usb_ctl_report)
Set a report in the device.
The
.Dv report
field indicates which report is to be set.
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.
.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.
