+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ugen
+.Nd USB generic device support
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ugen* at uhub? flags N"
+.Cd "ugen* at uhub? vendor V product P flags 1"
+.Cd "ugenif* at uhub? vendor V product P configuration C interface I"
+.Cd "ugenif* at uhub? vendor V product P configuration C interface I flags 1"
+.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
+Normally the
+.Nm
+driver is used when no other driver attaches to a device.
+If
+.Dq flags 1
+is specified, the
+.Nm
+will instead attach with a very high priority and always be used.
+Together with the
+.Cd vendor
+and
+.Cd product
+locators this can be used to force the
+.Nm
+driver to be used for a certain
+device.
+.Pp
+The
+.Sq ugenif
+form of attachment can be used to
+.Dq steal
+only one interface from some device for use by the
+.Nm
+driver.
+Most likely you want to explicitly specify at least vendor,
+product and interface with this form,
+as otherwise the
+.Nm
+driver would capture all of your
+.Nm usb
+devices.
+If
+.Dq flags 1
+is specified, the
+.Sq ugenif
+form will match at the lowest priority, thus allowing it to match only
+otherwise unclaimed interfaces.
+.Em NOTE :
+You have to be extremely careful,
+when using this form,
+as the attached
+.Nm
+driver has access to all of the device
+and can easily interfere with the driver(s) used for
+the other interface(s).
+.Pp
+As an example of this second form of attachment there are
+various debugging boards available based on some FTDI chip,
+where one interface is used for JTAG debugging
+and the other is used as a serial interface.
+In this case you want to attach the
+.Nm
+driver to interface 0 of this particular board identified by
+.Cd vendor
+and
+.Cd product
+while letting
+.Xr uftdi 4
+together with
+.Xr ucom 4
+to attach at interface 1.
+.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 determines which endpoint the device accesses and the rest
+of the bits determines 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 what 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 requests
+and may respond with an answer to such requests.
+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 IO on an isochronous endpoint
+.\" .Xr read 2
+.\" and
+.\" .Xr write 2
+.\" should be used.
+.\" Before any IO 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 IO on a bulk endpoint
+.Xr read 2
+and
+.Xr write 2
+should be used.
+All IO operations on a bulk endpoint are normally unbuffered.
+The
+.Dv USB_SET_BULK_RA
+and
+.Dv USB_SET_BULK_WB
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls enable read-ahead and write-behind buffering, respectively.
+This buffering supports fixed-sized USB transfers and is intended for
+devices with regular and continuing data transfers.
+When read-ahead or write-behind are enabled, the file descriptor
+may be set to use non-blocking IO.
+.Pp
+When in a read-ahead/writeback mode,
+.Xr select 2
+for read and write operates normally, returning true if there is data
+in the read buffer and space in the write buffer, respectively.
+When not,
+.Xr select 2
+always returns true, because there is no way to predict how the device
+will respond to a read or write request.
+.Pp
+The interrupt transfer mode can be in or out depending on the
+endpoint.
+To perform IO 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:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It Dv USB_SET_SHORT_XFER ( 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 ( 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:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It Dv USB_GET_CONFIG ( int )
+Get the device configuration number.
+.It Dv USB_SET_CONFIG ( 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 ( struct usb_alt_interface )
+Get the alternative setting number for the interface with the given
+index.
+The
+.Dv config_index
+is ignored in this call.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_alt_interface {
+ int uai_config_index;
+ int uai_interface_index;

+.It Dv USB_SET_ALTINTERFACE ( struct usb_alt_interface )
+Set the alternative setting to the given number in the interface with the

+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 ( struct usb_alt_interface )
+Return the number of different alternate settings in the
+.Dv uai_alt_no
+field.
+.It Dv USB_GET_DEVICE_DESC ( usb_device_descriptor_t )
+Return the device descriptor.
+.It Dv USB_GET_CONFIG_DESC ( 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 ( 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;

+.It Dv USB_GET_ENDPOINT_DESC ( 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_endpoint_index;
+ usb_endpoint_descriptor_t ued_desc;
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_GET_FULL_DESC ( 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
+.Dv ufd_data
+field should point to a memory area of the size given in the
+.Dv ufd_size
+field.
+The proper size can be determined by first issuing a
+.Dv USB_GET_CONFIG_DESC
+and inspecting the
+.Dv wTotalLength
+field.
+.It Dv USB_GET_STRING_DESC ( 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
+Send a USB request to the device on the control endpoint.
+Any data sent to/from the device is located at
+.Dv data .
+The size of the transferred data is determined from the
+.Dv request .
+The
+.Dv ucr_addr
+field is ignored in this call.
+The
+.Dv ucr_flags
+field can be used to flag that the request is allowed to
+be shorter than the requested size, and the
+.Dv ucr_actlen
+field 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 ( struct usb_device_info )
+Get an information summary for the device.
+This call will not issue any USB transactions.
+.El
+.Pp
+Bulk endpoints handle the following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It Dv USB_SET_BULK_RA ( int )
+Enable or disable bulk read-ahead.
+When enabled, the driver will begin to read data from the device into
+a buffer, and will perform reads from the device whenever there is
+room in the buffer.
+The
+.Xr read 2
+call will read data from this buffer, blocking if necessary until
+there is enough data to read the length of data requested.
+The buffer size and the read request length can be set by the
+.Dv USB_SET_BULK_RA_OPT
+.Xr ioctl 2
+call.
+.It Dv USB_SET_BULK_WB ( int )
+Enable or disable bulk write-behind.
+When enabled, the driver will buffer data from the
+.Xr write 2
+call before writing it to the device, enabling the
+.Xr write 2
+call to return immediately.
+.Xr write 2
+will block if there is not enough room in the buffer for all
+the data.
+The buffer size and the write request length can be set by the
+.Dv USB_SET_BULK_WB_OPT
+.Xr ioctl 2
+call.
+.It Dv USB_SET_BULK_RA_OPT ( struct usb_bulk_ra_wb_opt )
+Set the size of the buffer and the length of the read requests used by
+the driver when bulk read-ahead is enabled.
+The changes do not take
+effect until the next time bulk read-ahead is enabled.
+Read requests
+are made for the length specified, and the host controller driver
+(i.e.,
+.Xr ehci 4 ,
+.Xr ohci 4 ,
+and
+.Xr uhci 4 )
+will perform as many bus transfers as required.
+If transfers from the device should be smaller than the maximum length,
+.Dv ra_wb_request_size
+must be set to the required length.
+.Bd -literal
+struct usb_bulk_ra_wb_opt {
+ u_int ra_wb_buffer_size;
+ u_int ra_wb_request_size;
+};
+.Ed
+.It Dv USB_SET_BULK_WB_OPT ( struct usb_bulk_ra_wb_opt )
+Set the size of the buffer and the length of the write requests used
+by the driver when bulk write-behind is enabled.
+The changes do not
+take effect until the next time bulk write-behind is enabled.
+.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
+use 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
+.Dv interface_index
+from 0 to
+.Dv config_desc->bNumInterface-1
+and for each of these iterating the
+.Dv endpoint_index
+from 0 to
+.Dv interface_desc->bNumEndpoints .
+The
+.Dv config_index
+should set to
+.Dv USB_CURRENT_CONFIG_INDEX
+and
+.Dv alt_index
+should be set to
+.Dv USB_CURRENT_ALT_INDEX .
