The API is horrible. Better having 2 additional functions to get
the usage and usage pageof the report.

libratbag
libratbag is a configuration library for gaming mice. It provides a generic way to access the various features exposed by these mice and abstracts away hardware-specific and kernel-specific quirks.
Architecture
libratbag has two main components, the front-end API and wrapper code, and the back-end HW-specific drivers:
+-----+ +-----+ +-----------+ +----------+
| app | -> | API | -> | hw-driver | -> | protocol | -> device
+-----+ +-----+ +-----------+ +----------+
The API layer is HW agnostic. Depend on the HW, the protocol may be part of the driver implementation (e.g. etekcity) or a separate set of files (HID++). Where the protocol is separate, the whole known protocol should be implemented. The HW driver then only accesses the bits required for libratbag. This allows us to optionally export the protocol as separate library in the future, if other projects require it.
Adding Devices
Your device may already supported by one of our drivers. If so, you can enable it by adding the device vendor-id/product-id to the static table. For example, for a HID++ 1.0 device, edit the driver-hidpp10.c file and add an entry in the hidpp10drv_table. For the other drivers, look for the driver-{drivername}.c file and do the same.
If the device doesn't work, you'll have to start reverse-engineering the device-specific protocol. Good luck :)
