Description:
libHID - a portable HID API



libHID is a GPL project that 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:

    * GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin and MacOS X



libHID will also provide \\\"Native HID Access\\\" for:

    * GNU/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:

    * GNU/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].
