uhid — USB generic HID support

       The  uhid  driver provides support for all HID (Human Interface Device) interfaces in USB devices that do
       not have a special driver.

       The device handles the following ioctl(2) calls:

       USB_GET_REPORT_ID (int)
               Get the report identifier used by this HID report.

       USB_GET_REPORT_DESC (structusb_gen_descriptor)
               Get the HID report descriptor.  Copies a maximum of ugd_maxlen bytes  of  the  report  descriptor
               data into the memory specified by ugd_data.  Upon return ugd_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.

               struct usb_gen_descriptor {
                       void   *ugd_data;
                       uint16_t ugd_maxlen;
                       uint16_t ugd_actlen;
                       uint8_t ugd_report_type;
                       ...
               };

       USB_SET_IMMED (int)
               Sets the device in a mode where each read(2) will return the current value of the  input  report.
               Normally a 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.

       USB_GET_REPORT (structusb_gen_descriptor)
               Get a report from the device without waiting for data on the interrupt pipe.  Copies a maximum of
               ugd_maxlen  bytes  of  the  report  data  into  the  memory  specified  by ugd_data.  Upon return
               ugd_actlen is set to the number of bytes  copied.   The  ugd_report_type  field  indicates  which
               report is requested.  It should be UHID_INPUT_REPORT, UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT, or UHID_FEATURE_REPORT.
               This call may fail if the device does not support this feature.

       USB_SET_REPORT (structusb_gen_descriptor)
               Set  a  report in the device.  The ugd_report_type field indicates which report is to be set.  It
               should be UHID_INPUT_REPORT, UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT, or UHID_FEATURE_REPORT.  The value of the report
               is specified by the ugd_data and the ugd_maxlen fields.  This call may fail if  the  device  does
               not support this feature.

       Use  read(2)  to  get  data from the device.  Data should be read in chunks of the size prescribed by the
       report descriptor.

       Use write(2) to send data to the device.  Data should be written in chunks of the size prescribed by  the
       report descriptor.

/dev/uhid?

       The uhid driver appeared in NetBSD 1.4.   This  manual  page  was  adopted  from  NetBSD  by  Tom  Rhodes
       <trhodes@FreeBSD.org> in April 2002.

Debian                                            July 1, 2018                                           UHID(4)

       uhid — USB generic HID support

usbhidctl(1), usb(4)

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

             deviceuhid

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             uhid_load="YES"

       The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and loader(8) tunables:

       hw.usb.uhid.debug
               Debug  output  level,  where  0  is  debugging  disabled and larger values increase debug message
               verbosity.  Default is 0.
