43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46driver handles all Bluetooth Human Interface Devices.  Each HID
47device can have several components, e.g., a keyboard and a mouse.
48These components use different report identifiers to
49distinguish which component data is coming from.  The
50.Nm
51driver has other drivers attached that handle particular
52kinds of devices and
53.Nm
54only dispatches data to them based on the report id.
55.Pp
56Normally, Bluetooth HIDs will be attached using the
57.Xr btcontrol 8
58program.
