Antonio,
You and Jiri seem to have the same idea on this one. Sounds good to me.

+HIDIOCGRAWNAME(len): Get Raw Name
+This ioctl returns a string containing the vendor and product strings of

Is the encoding specified in the HID spec?
USB returns strings to the host as Unicode, UTF16LE encoded. The kernel
converts them to UTF-8. See usb_string() in drivers/usb/core/message.c.
Just a very minimal remark, maybe the code should follow the kernel
coding style (early return on error, no braces for one line conditional
blocks) even if it is a userspace application. Being it in the
kernel Documentation I assume people reading it would be used to kernel
style more.
Good point. I'll run the style check on it and fix it up.
Alan.
