+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ugen
+.Nd USB generic device support
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+is integrated into the
+.Xr usb 4
+kernel module.
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for all USB devices that do not have
+a special driver.
+It supports access to all parts of the device,
+but not in a way that is as convenient as a special purpose driver.
+.Pp
+There can be up to 127 USB devices connected to a USB bus.
+Each USB device can have up to 16 endpoints.
+Each of these endpoints
+will communicate in one of four different modes: control, isochronous,
+bulk, or interrupt.
+Each of the endpoints will have a different
+device node.
+The four least significant bits in the minor device
+number determine which endpoint the device accesses, and the rest
+of the bits determine which USB device.
+.Pp
+If an endpoint address is used both for input and output, the device
+can be opened for both read or write.
+.Pp
+To find out which endpoints exist, there are a series of
+.Xr ioctl 2
+operations on the control endpoint that return the USB descriptors
+of the device, configurations, interfaces, and endpoints.
+.Pp
+The control transfer mode can only happen on the control endpoint
+which is always endpoint 0.
+The control endpoint accepts a request
+and may respond with an answer to such a request.
+Control requests
+are issued by
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls.
+.\" .Pp
+.\" The isochronous transfer mode can be in or out depending on the
+.\" endpoint.
+.\" To perform I/O on an isochronous endpoint
+.\" .Xr read 2
+.\" and
+.\" .Xr write 2
+.\" should be used.
+.\" Before any I/O operations can take place the transfer rate in
+.\" bytes/second has to be set.
+.\" This is done with
+.\" .Xr ioctl 2
+.\" .Dv USB_SET_ISO_RATE .
+.\" Performing this call sets up a buffer corresponding to
+.\" about 1 second of data.
+.Pp
+The bulk transfer mode can be in or out depending on the
+endpoint.
+To perform I/O on a bulk endpoint
+.Xr read 2
+and
+.Xr write 2
+should be used.
+All I/O operations on a bulk endpoint are unbuffered.
+.Pp
+The interrupt transfer mode can be in or out depending on the
+endpoint.
+To perform I/O on an interrupt endpoint
+.Xr read 2
+and
+.Xr write 2
+should be used.
+A moderate amount of buffering is done
+by the driver.
+.Pp
+All endpoints handle the following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Dv USB_SET_SHORT_XFER Pq Vt int
+Allow short read transfer.
+Normally a transfer from the device
+which is shorter than the request specified is reported as an
+error.
+.It Dv USB_SET_TIMEOUT Pq Vt int
+Set the timeout on the device operations
+The time is specified in milliseconds.
+The value 0 is used to indicate that there is
+no timeout.
+.El
+.Pp
+The control endpoint (endpoint 0) handles the following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Dv USB_GET_CONFIG Pq Vt int
+Get the device configuration number.
+.It Dv USB_SET_CONFIG Pq Vt int
+Set the device into the given configuration number.
+.Pp
+This operation can only be performed when the control endpoint
+is the sole open endpoint.
+.It Dv USB_GET_ALTINTERFACE Pq Vt "struct usb_alt_interface"
+Get the alternative setting number for the interface with the given
+index.
+The
+.Va uai_config_index
+is ignored in this call.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_alt_interface {
+ int uai_config_index;
+ int uai_interface_index;
+ int uai_alt_no;
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_SET_ALTINTERFACE Pq Vt "struct usb_alt_interface"
+Set the alternative setting to the given number in the interface with the
+given index.
+The
+.Va uai_config_index
+is ignored in this call.
+.Pp
+This operation can only be performed when no endpoints for the interface
+are open.
+.It Dv USB_GET_NO_ALT Pq Vt "struct usb_alt_interface"
+Return the number of different alternate settings in the
+.Va uai_alt_no
+field.
+.It Dv USB_GET_DEVICE_DESC Pq Vt usb_device_descriptor_t
+Return the device descriptor.
+.It Dv USB_GET_CONFIG_DESC Pq Vt "struct usb_config_desc"
+Return the descriptor for the configuration with the given index.
+For convenience, the current configuration can be specified by
+.Dv USB_CURRENT_CONFIG_INDEX .
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_config_desc {
+ int ucd_config_index;
+ usb_config_descriptor_t ucd_desc;
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_GET_INTERFACE_DESC Pq Vt "struct usb_interface_desc"
+Return the interface descriptor for an interface specified by its
+configuration index, interface index, and alternative index.
+For convenience, the current alternative can be specified by
+.Dv USB_CURRENT_ALT_INDEX .
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_interface_desc {
+ int uid_config_index;
+ int uid_interface_index;
+ int uid_alt_index;
+ usb_interface_descriptor_t uid_desc;
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_GET_ENDPOINT_DESC Pq Vt "struct usb_endpoint_desc"
+Return the endpoint descriptor for the endpoint specified by its
+configuration index, interface index, alternative index, and
+endpoint index.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_endpoint_desc {
+ int ued_config_index;
+ int ued_interface_index;
+ int ued_alt_index;
+ int ued_endpoint_index;
+ usb_endpoint_descriptor_t ued_desc;
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_GET_FULL_DESC Pq Vt "struct usb_full_desc"
+Return all the descriptors for the given configuration.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_full_desc {
+ int ufd_config_index;
+ u_int ufd_size;
+ u_char *ufd_data;
+};
+.Ed
+The
+.Va ufd_data
+field should point to a memory area of the size given in the
+.Va ufd_size
+field.
+The proper size can be determined by first issuing a
+.Dv USB_GET_CONFIG_DESC
+and inspecting the
+.Va wTotalLength
+field.
+.It Dv USB_GET_STRING_DESC Pq Vt "struct usb_string_desc"
+Get a string descriptor for the given language ID and
+string index.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_string_desc {
+ int usd_string_index;
+ int usd_language_id;
+ usb_string_descriptor_t usd_desc;
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_DO_REQUEST Pq Vt "struct usb_ctl_request"
+Send a USB request to the device on the control endpoint.
+Any data sent to/from the device is located at
+.Va ucr_data .
+The size of the transferred data is determined from the
+.Va ucr_request .
+The
+.Va ucr_addr
+field is ignored in this call.
+The
+.Va ucr_flags
+field can be used to flag that the request is allowed to
+be shorter than the requested size, and
+.Va ucr_actlen
+will contain the actual size on completion.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_ctl_request {
+ int ucr_addr;
+ usb_device_request_t ucr_request;
+ void *ucr_data;
+ int ucr_flags;
+#define USBD_SHORT_XFER_OK 0x04 /* allow short reads */
+ int ucr_actlen; /* actual length transferred */
+};
+.Ed
+This is a dangerous operation in that it can perform arbitrary operations
+on the device.
+Some of the most dangerous (e.g., changing the device
+address) are not allowed.
+.It Dv USB_GET_DEVICEINFO Pq Vt "struct usb_device_info"
+Get an information summary for the device.
+This call will not issue any USB transactions.
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that there are two different ways of addressing configurations,
+interfaces, alternatives, and endpoints: by index or by number.
+The index is the ordinal number (starting from 0) of the descriptor
+as presented by the device.
+The number is the respective number of
+the entity as found in its descriptor.
+Enumeration of descriptors
+uses the index, getting and setting typically uses numbers.
+.Pp
+Example:
+all endpoints (except the control endpoint) for the current configuration
+can be found by iterating the
+.Va interface_index
+from 0 to
+.Va config_desc->bNumInterface Ns \-1
+and for each of these, iterating the
+.Va endpoint_index
+from 0 to
+.Va interface_desc->bNumEndpoints .
+The
+.Va config_index
+should be set to
+.Dv USB_CURRENT_CONFIG_INDEX
+and
+.Va alt_index
+should be set to
+.Dv USB_CURRENT_ALT_INDEX .
