34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm uvisor
37.Nd "USB support for the PalmOS based PDAs"
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39To compile this driver into the kernel,
40place the following lines in your
41kernel configuration file:
42.Bd -ragged -offset indent
43.Cd "device uvisor"
44.Cd "device ucom"
45.Ed
46.Pp
47Alternatively, to load the driver as a
48module at boot time, place the following line in
49.Xr loader.conf 5 :
50.Bd -literal -offset indent
51uvisor_load="YES"
52.Ed
53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Nm
56driver provides support for USB based PalmOS PDAs, like Handspring
57Visor, Palm Mxxx series, and Sony Clie.
58.Pp
59The device is accessed through the
60.Xr ucom 4
61driver which makes it behave like a
62.Xr tty 4 .
63The device has several ports for different purposes, each of them gets its
64own
65.Xr ucom 4
66device.
67The attach message describes the purpose of each port.
68.Pp
69The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the attached device on the
70HotSync port.
