.Dt UHID 4
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm uhid
|
|
.Nd USB generic HID support
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device uhid"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
uhid_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.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 Pq Vt int
|
|
Get the report identifier used by this HID report.
|
|
.It Dv USB_GET_REPORT_DESC Pq Vt "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 ucrd_size;
|
|
u_char ucrd_data[1024]; /* filled data size will vary */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Dv USB_SET_IMMED Pq Vt 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 Pq Vt "struct usb_ctl_report"
|
|
Get a report from the device without waiting for data on
|
|
the interrupt pipe.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va 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 ucr_report;
|
|
u_char ucr_data[1024]; /* used data size will vary */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Dv USB_SET_REPORT Pq Vt "struct usb_ctl_report"
|
|
Set a report in the device.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va 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
|
|
to send data to the device.
|
|
Data should be written in chunks of the
|
|
size prescribed by the report descriptor.
