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 input and output report mechanisms.

Input reports are often used to describe information on the current state of a HID device. Output reports are used to send data to the device, and can be used to control its state. In the context of the YubiKey SDK, input and output reports are used to interact with the YubiKey's FIDO application.
