./comms/libhidapi, Library for comunicating with bluetooth and usb hid devices

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.14.0, Package name: libhidapi-0.14.0, Maintainer: nathanialsloss

HIDAPI is a multi-platform library which allows an application to interface
with USB and Bluetooth HID-Class devices on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
On Windows, a DLL is built. On other platforms (and optionally on Windows),
the single source file can simply be dropped into a target application.

HIDAPI has four back-ends:
* Windows (using hid.dll)
* Linux/hidraw (using the Kernel's hidraw driver)
* Linux/libusb (using libusb-1.0)
* Mac (using IOHidManager)

This package includes only the libusb backend.
