2169e4d948SJiri Kosina	  A human interface device (HID) is a type of computer device that
2269e4d948SJiri Kosina	  interacts directly with and takes input from humans. The term "HID"
2369e4d948SJiri Kosina	  most commonly used to refer to the USB-HID specification, but other
2469e4d948SJiri Kosina	  devices (such as, but not strictly limited to, Bluetooth) are
2569e4d948SJiri Kosina	  designed using HID specification (this involves certain keyboards,
2669e4d948SJiri Kosina	  mice, tablets, etc). This option compiles into kernel the generic
2769e4d948SJiri Kosina	  HID layer code (parser, usages, etc.), which can then be used by
2869e4d948SJiri Kosina	  transport-specific HID implementation (like USB or Bluetooth).

39c080d89aSJiri Kosina	This option lets the HID layer output diagnostics about its internal
40c080d89aSJiri Kosina	state, resolve HID usages, dump HID fields, etc. Individual HID drivers
41c080d89aSJiri Kosina	use this debugging facility to output information about individual HID
42c080d89aSJiri Kosina	devices, etc.
43c080d89aSJiri Kosina
44c080d89aSJiri Kosina	This feature is useful for those who are either debugging the HID parser
45c080d89aSJiri Kosina	or any HID hardware device.

5386166b7bSJiri Kosina	Say Y here if you want to support HID devices (from the USB
5486166b7bSJiri Kosina	specification standpoint) that aren't strictly user interface
5586166b7bSJiri Kosina	devices, like monitor controls and Uninterruptable Power Supplies.
5686166b7bSJiri Kosina
5786166b7bSJiri Kosina	This module supports these devices separately using a separate
5886166b7bSJiri Kosina	event interface on /dev/hidraw.
5986166b7bSJiri Kosina
6086166b7bSJiri Kosina	There is also a /dev/hiddev configuration option in the USB HID
6186166b7bSJiri Kosina	configuration menu. In comparison to hiddev, this device does not process
6286166b7bSJiri Kosina	the hid events at all (no parsing, no lookups). This lets applications
6386166b7bSJiri Kosina	to work on raw hid events when they want to, and avoid using transport-specific
6486166b7bSJiri Kosina	userspace libhid/libusb libraries.
