A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Arnaud Quette <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: libHID
System name: libhid
Type: non-GNU
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].
