Jiri Kosina69e4d942007-01-03 23:03:14 +010021 A human interface device (HID) is a type of computer device that
22 interacts directly with and takes input from humans. The term "HID"
23 most commonly used to refer to the USB-HID specification, but other
24 devices (such as, but not strictly limited to, Bluetooth) are
25 designed using HID specification (this involves certain keyboards,
26 mice, tablets, etc). This option compiles into kernel the generic
27 HID layer code (parser, usages, etc.), which can then be used by
28 transport-specific HID implementation (like USB or Bluetooth).

39 This option lets the HID layer output diagnostics about its internal
40 state, resolve HID usages, dump HID fields, etc. Individual HID drivers
41 use this debugging facility to output information about individual HID
42 devices, etc.
43
44 This feature is useful for those who are either debugging the HID parser
45 or any HID hardware device.

51 depends on HID
52 ---help---
53 Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB
54 specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface
55 devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
56
57 This module supports these devices separately using a separate
58 event interface on /dev/hidraw.
59
60 There is also a /dev/hiddev configuration option in the USB HID
61 configuration menu. In comparison to hiddev, this device does not process
62 the hid events at all (no parsing, no lookups). This lets applications
63 to work on raw hid events when they want to, and avoid using transport-specific
64 userspace libhid/libusb libraries.
65
66 If unsure, say Y.
