42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45driver handles all Human Interface Devices.  Each HID device
46can have several components, e.g., a keyboard and a mouse.
47These components use different report identifiers (a byte) to
48distinguish which one data is coming from.  The
49.Nm
50driver has other drivers attached that handle particular
51kinds of devices and
52.Nm
53only dispatches data to them based on the report id.
