Before any communication can occur with a device, it needs to be found. This is accomplished by finding all of the busses and then finding all of the devices on all of the busses:
struct usb_bus *busses; usb_init(); usb_find_busses(); usb_find_devices(); busses = usb_get_busses(); |
After this, the application should manually loop through all of the busess and all of the devices and matching the device by whatever criteria is needed:
struct usb_bus *bus; int c, i, a; /* ... */ for (bus = busses; bus; bus = bus->next) { struct usb_device *dev; for (dev = bus->devices; dev; dev = dev->next) { /* Check if this device is a printer */ if (dev->descriptor.bDeviceClass == 7) { /* Open the device, claim the interface and do your processing */ ... } /* Loop through all of the configurations */ for (c = 0; c < dev->descriptor.bNumConfigurations; c++) { /* Loop through all of the interfaces */ for (i = 0; i < dev->config[c].bNumInterfaces; i++) { /* Loop through all of the alternate settings */ for (a = 0; a < dev->config[c].interface[i].num_altsetting; a++) { /* Check if this interface is a printer */ if (dev->config[c].interface[i].altsetting[a].bInterfaceClass == 7) { /* Open the device, set the alternate setting, claim the interface and do your processing */ ... } } } } } } |
