Overview

The uhidev driver handles all Human Interface Devices. Each HID device can have several components, e.g., a keyboard and a mouse. These components use different report identifiers (a byte) to distinguish which one data is coming from. The uhidev driver has other drivers attached that handle particular kinds of devices and uhidev only dispatches data to them based on the report ID.

History

The uhidev driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6. This manual page was adopted from NetBSD by Tom Rhodes ⟨[email protected]⟩ in April 2002.

From freebsd-manpages 6.0-5 in Debian 4.0 (Etch). Parsed by carta from the page's mdoc source.
