.Sh NAME
.Nm uvisor
.Nd "USB support for the PalmOS based PDAs"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device uvisor"
.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
uvisor_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for USB based PalmOS PDAs, like Handspring
Visor, Palm Mxxx series, and Sony Clie.
.Pp
The device is accessed through the
.Xr ucom 4
driver which makes it behave like a
.Xr tty 4 .
The device has several ports for different purposes, each of them gets its
own
.Xr ucom 4
device.
The attach message describes the purpose of each port.
.Pp
The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the attached device on the
HotSync port.
