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.
