Implements

IHidDevice.ConnectToFeatureReports()

Remarks

The HID specification defines three report types that can be used to interact directly with the device: input, output, and feature. This method connects to the feature report mechanism.

Feature reports are often used to describe device configuration that can be sent to the device. In the context of the YubiKey SDK, feature reports are used to interact with the YubiKey's OTP application.
