Package: libHID
System name: libhid
Type: non-GNU
Description:
libHID - a portable HID API
libHID aims to provide a layer of abstraction for accessing HID-class [1] devices over
USB or serial lines (similar to what libusb [2] provides for the base USB protocol).
libHID will initially provide a "Generic HID Access", using the MGE HID parser [3],
for all platforms supported by libusb, that is to say:
* Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin and MacOS X
libHID will also provide "Native HID Access" for:
* Linux using kernel 2.4.22/2.6 and above with the new hiddev driver,
* Mac OS X using the HID Manager.
Later versions will maybe provide "Native HID Access" for:
* Linux kernel v2.4 with the old hiddev driver,
* Win32 (Windows 98 SE and later).
The project is not currently functional, but the various needed layers are already
written (currently embedded in NUT patch ; patches soon available). The "code"
available from the homepage [4] is more a set of ideas for the API, and doesn't
reflect the final code...
For more information, please have a look at libHID's current homepage [4].
