+.Dt UHID 4
+.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"
+.Cd "device hid"
+.Cd "device usb"
+.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_gen_descriptor"
+Get the HID report descriptor.
+Copies a maximum of
+.Va ugd_maxlen
+bytes of the report descriptor data into the memory
+specified by
+.Va ugd_data .
+Upon return
+.Va 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.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_gen_descriptor {
+ void *ugd_data;
+ uint16_t ugd_maxlen;
+ uint16_t ugd_actlen;
+ uint8_t ugd_report_type;
+ ...
+};
+.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_gen_descriptor"
+Get a report from the device without waiting for data on
+the interrupt pipe.
+Copies a maximum of
+.Va ugd_maxlen
+bytes of the report data into the memory specified by
+.Va ugd_data .
+Upon return
+.Va ugd_actlen
+is set to the number of bytes copied.
+The
+.Va ugd_report_type
+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.
+.It Dv USB_SET_REPORT Pq Vt "struct usb_gen_descriptor"
+Set a report in the device.
+The
+.Va ugd_report_type
+field indicates which report is to be set.
+It should be
+.Dv UHID_INPUT_REPORT ,
+.Dv UHID_OUTPUT_REPORT ,
+or
+.Dv UHID_FEATURE_REPORT .
+The value of the report is specified by the
+.Va ugd_data
+and the
+.Va ugd_maxlen
+fields.
+This call may fail if the device does not support this feature.
+.It Dv USB_GET_DEVICEINFO Pq Vt "struct usb_device_info"
+Returns information about the device, like USB vendor ID and USB product ID.
+This call will not issue any USB transactions.
+Also refer to
+.Xr ugen 4 .
+.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.
+.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
+The following variables are available as both
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variables and
+.Xr loader 8
+tunables:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Va hw.usb.uhid.debug
+Debug output level, where 0 is debugging disabled and larger values increase
+debug message verbosity.
+Default is 0.
+.El
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /dev/uhid?"
+.It Pa /dev/uhid?
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr usbhidctl 1 ,
+.Xr usb 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver
