41.Os
42.Sh NAME
43.Nm uvisor
44.Nd "USB support for the PalmOS based PDAs"
45.Sh SYNOPSIS
46To compile this driver into the kernel,
47place the following lines in your
48kernel configuration file:
49.Bd -ragged -offset indent
50.Cd "device uvisor"
51.Cd "device ucom"
52.Ed
53.Pp
54Alternatively, to load the driver as a
55module at boot time, place the following line in
56.Xr loader.conf 5 :
57.Bd -literal -offset indent
58uvisor_load="YES"
59.Ed
60.Sh DESCRIPTION
61The
62.Nm
63driver provides support for USB based PalmOS PDAs, like Handspring
64Visor, Palm Mxxx series, and Sony Clie.
65.Pp
66The device is accessed through the
67.Xr ucom 4
68driver which makes it behave like a
69.Xr tty 4 .
70The device has several ports for different purposes, each of them gets its
71own
72.Xr ucom 4
73device.
74The attach message describes the purpose of each port.
75.Pp
76The usual Pilot tools can be used to access the attached device on the
77HotSync port.
