+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm uhid
+.Nd USB generic HID support
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device uhid"
+.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
+uhid_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for all HID (Human Interface Device) interfaces
+in USB devices that do not have a special driver.
+.Pp
+The device handles the following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Dv USB_GET_REPORT_ID Pq Vt int
+Get the report identifier used by this HID report.
+.It Dv USB_GET_REPORT_DESC Pq Vt "struct usb_ctl_report_desc"
+Get the HID report descriptor.
+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.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_ctl_report_desc {
+ int ucrd_size;
+ u_char ucrd_data[1024]; /* filled data size will vary */
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_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 USB_GET_REPORT Pq Vt "struct usb_ctl_report"
+Get a report from the device without waiting for data on
+the interrupt pipe.
+The
+.Va report
+field indicates which report is requested.
+It should be
+.Dv UHID_INPUT_REPORT ,
+.Dv UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT ,
+or
+.Dv UHID_FEATURE_REPORT .
+This call may fail if the device does not support this feature.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_ctl_report {
+ int ucr_report;
+ u_char ucr_data[1024]; /* used data size will vary */
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_SET_REPORT Pq Vt "struct usb_ctl_report"
+Set a report in the device.
+The
+.Va report
+field indicates which report is to be set.
+It should be
+.Dv UHID_INPUT_REPORT ,
+.Dv UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT ,
+or
+.Dv UHID_FEATURE_REPORT .
+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.
+.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.
