/*
 * UHID Example
 * This example emulates a basic 3 buttons mouse with wheel over UHID. Run this
 * program as root and then use the following keys to control the mouse:
 *   q: Quit the application
 *   1: Toggle left button (down, up, ...)
 *   2: Toggle right button
 *   3: Toggle middle button
 *   a: Move mouse left
 *   d: Move mouse right
 *   w: Move mouse up
 *   s: Move mouse down
 *   r: Move wheel up
 *   f: Move wheel down
 *
 * Additionally to 3 button mouse, 3 keyboard LEDs are also supported (LED_NUML,
 * LED_CAPSL and LED_SCROLLL). The device doesn't generate any related keyboard
 * events, though. You need to manually write the EV_LED/LED_XY/1 activation
 * input event to the evdev device to see it being sent to this device.
 *
 * If uhid is not available as /dev/uhid, then you can pass a different path as
 * first argument.
 * If <linux/uhid.h> is not installed in /usr, then compile this with:
 *   gcc -o ./uhid_test -Wall -I./include ./samples/uhid/uhid-example.c
 * And ignore the warning about kernel headers. However, it is recommended to
 * use the installed uhid.h if available.

/*
 * HID Report Desciptor
 * We emulate a basic 3 button mouse with wheel and 3 keyboard LEDs. This is
 * the report-descriptor as the kernel will parse it:
 *
 * INPUT(1)[INPUT]
 *   Field(0)
 *     Physical(GenericDesktop.Pointer)
 *     Application(GenericDesktop.Mouse)
 *     Usage(3)
 *       Button.0001
 *       Button.0002
 *       Button.0003
 *     Logical Minimum(0)
 *     Logical Maximum(1)
 *     Report Size(1)
 *     Report Count(3)
 *     Report Offset(0)
 *     Flags( Variable Absolute )
 *   Field(1)
 *     Physical(GenericDesktop.Pointer)
 *     Application(GenericDesktop.Mouse)
 *     Usage(3)
 *       GenericDesktop.X
 *       GenericDesktop.Y
 *       GenericDesktop.Wheel
 *     Logical Minimum(-128)
 *     Logical Maximum(127)
 *     Report Size(8)
 *     Report Count(3)
 *     Report Offset(8)
 *     Flags( Variable Relative )
 * OUTPUT(2)[OUTPUT]
 *   Field(0)
 *     Application(GenericDesktop.Keyboard)
 *     Usage(3)
 *       LED.NumLock
 *       LED.CapsLock
 *       LED.ScrollLock
 *     Logical Minimum(0)
 *     Logical Maximum(1)
 *     Report Size(1)
 *     Report Count(3)
 *     Report Offset(0)
 *     Flags( Variable Absolute )
 *
 * This is the mapping that we expect:
 *   Button.0001 ---> Key.LeftBtn
 *   Button.0002 ---> Key.RightBtn
 *   Button.0003 ---> Key.MiddleBtn
 *   GenericDesktop.X ---> Relative.X
 *   GenericDesktop.Y ---> Relative.Y
 *   GenericDesktop.Wheel ---> Relative.Wheel
 *   LED.NumLock ---> LED.NumLock
 *   LED.CapsLock ---> LED.CapsLock
 *   LED.ScrollLock ---> LED.ScrollLock
 *
 * This information can be verified by reading /sys/kernel/debug/hid/<dev>/rdesc
 * This file should print the same information as showed above.
