hid drivers

Hi,

I'm writing a simple little driver to read three bytes from a hid device

when plugged  in it reports as hiddev96:__________--usb-0000:00:1d.0-2  
and shows up in /dev/usb/hiddev0  and is enumerated in 
/proc/bus/usb/devices. 

Thinking a simple usb_control_msg will be good and simple enough to have 
the device send the three bytes

Is there a way to do that with the hid interface using ioctl  
open/read/write functions

or will it be necessary to use the usb_control_msg(...)  call directly?

Looking through the docs did not see any way to use the iotcl's and 
usbfs to specify that the write should envoke the control msg and set a 
pointer for the data required for the urb.  Saw examples of code using 
the control msg directly, but nothing with ioctl()

I'm a newbee at this,  any help would be appreciated. Hope I stated the 
question properly.

Thanks
John
