.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm hidraw
|
|
.Nd Raw Access to HID devices
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device hidraw"
|
|
.Cd "device hid"
|
|
.Cd "device hidbus"
|
|
.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
|
|
hidraw_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides a raw interface to Human Interface Devices (HIDs).
|
|
The reports are sent to and received from the device unmodified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The device handles 2 sets of
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
calls:
|
|

|
|

|
|
.Xr uhid 4

|
\-compatible calls:
|
|

|
.It Dv HID_GET_REPORT_ID Pq Vt int
|
|
Get the report identifier used by this HID report.
|
|
.It Dv HID_GET_REPORT_DESC Pq Vt "struct hidraw_gen_descriptor"
|
|
Get the HID report descriptor.
|
|
Copies a maximum of

|
|
specified by
|
|
.Va hgd_data .
|
|
Upon return
|
|
.Va hgd_actlen
|
|
is set to the number of bytes copied.
|
|
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.

.It Dv HID_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 HID_GET_REPORT Pq Vt "struct hidraw_gen_descriptor"
|
|
Get a report from the device without waiting for data on
|
|
the interrupt pipe.

|
Copies a maximum of
|
|
.Va hgd_maxlen
|
|
bytes of the report data into the memory specified by
|
|
.Va hgd_data .

Upon return
|
|
.Va hgd_actlen
|
|
is set to the number of bytes copied.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va hgd_report_type

|
|
It should be
|
|
.Dv HID_INPUT_REPORT ,
|
|
.Dv HID_OUTPUT_REPORT ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv HID_FEATURE_REPORT .
|
|
On a device which uses numbered reports, the first byte of the returned data
|
|
is the report number.
|
|
The report data begins from the second byte.
|
|
For devices which do not use numbered reports, the report data begins at the
|
|
first byte.
|
|
This call may fail if the device does not support this feature.
|
|
.It Dv HID_SET_REPORT Pq Vt "struct hidraw_gen_descriptor"
|
|
Set a report in the device.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va hgd_report_type
|
|
field indicates which report is to be set.
|
|
It should be
|
|
.Dv HID_INPUT_REPORT ,
|
|
.Dv HID_OUTPUT_REPORT ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv HID_FEATURE_REPORT .
|
|
The value of the report is specified by the
|
|
.Va hgd_data
|
|
and the
|
|
.Va hgd_maxlen
|
|
fields.
|
|
On a device which uses numbered reports, the first byte of data to be sent is
|
|
the report number.
|
|
The report data begins from the second byte.
|
|
For devices which do not use numbered reports, the report data begins at the
|
|
first byte.

The bus type can be one of:
|

Get the newbus path to the device.
|

.\For Bluetooth devices, it returns the hardware (MAC) address of the device.
|
|
Copies a maximum of
|
|
.Va len
|
|
bytes of the newbus device path
|
|
into the memory

Get a feature report from the device.
|

Copies a maximum of
|
|
.Va len
|
|
bytes of the feature report data into the memory specified by
|
|
.Va buf .
|
|
The first byte of the supplied buffer should be set to the report
|
|
number of the requested report.
|
|
For devices which do not use numbered reports, set the first byte to 0.
|
|
The report will be returned starting at the first byte of the buffer
|
|
(ie: the report number is not returned).
|
|
This call may fail if the device does not support this feature.
|
|
.It Dv HIDIOCSFEATURE(len) Pq Vt "void[] buf"
|
|
Set a feature Report in the device.
|
|
The value of the report is specified by the
|
|
.Va buf
|
|
and the
|
|
.Va len
|
|
parameters.
|
|
Set the first byte of the supplied buffer to the report number.
|
|
For devices which do not use numbered reports, set the first byte to 0.
|
|
The report data begins in the second byte.
|
|
Make sure to set len accordingly, to one more than the length of the report
|
|
(to account for the report number).
|
|
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.
|
|
On a device which uses numbered reports, the first byte of the returned data
|
|
is the report number.
|
|
The report data begins from the second byte.
|
|
For devices which do not use numbered reports, the report data begins at the
|
|
first byte.
|
|
.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.
|
|
The first byte of the buffer passed to
|
|
.Xr write 2
|
|
should be set to the report number.
|
|
If the device does not use numbered reports, there are 2 operation modes:
|
|
.Nm
|
|
mode and
|
|
.Xr uhid 4
|
|
mode.
|
|
In the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
mode, the first byte should be set to 0 and the report data itself should
|
|
begin at the second byte.
|
|
In the
|
|
.Xr uhid 4
|
|
mode, the report data should begin at the first byte.
|
|
The modes can be switched with issuing one of
|
|
.Dv HIDIOCGRDESC
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv HID_GET_REPORT_DESC
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
Default mode is
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
|
|
The following variables are available as both
|
