36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "ihidev* at iic?"
38.Cd "ims*    at ihidev? reportid ?"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver handles all Human Interface Devices attached via I2C bus.
43Each HID device can have several components, e.g., a keyboard and
44a mouse.
45These components use different report identifiers (a byte)
46to distinguish which one data is coming from.
47The
48.Nm
49driver has other drivers attached that handle particular
50kinds of devices and
51.Nm
52only dispatches data to them based on the report id.
