Jiri Kosina | 69e4d94 | 2007-01-03 23:03:14 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | 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). |
| 29 | |

| 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 | |

| 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. |
