56 * \mainpage libusbx-1.0 API Reference
58 * \section intro Introduction
60 * libusbx is an open source library that allows you to communicate with USB
61 * devices from userspace. For more info, see the
62 * <a href="http://libusbx.sourceforge.net">libusbx homepage</a>.
64 * This documentation is aimed at application developers wishing to
65 * communicate with USB peripherals from their own software. After reviewing
66 * this documentation, feedback and questions can be sent to the
67 * <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libusbx-devel">libusbx-devel mailing
68 * list</a>.
70 * This documentation assumes knowledge of how to operate USB devices from
71 * a software standpoint (descriptors, configurations, interfaces, endpoints,
72 * control/bulk/interrupt/isochronous transfers, etc). Full information
73 * can be found in the <a href="http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/">USB 3.0
74 * Specification</a> which is available for free download. You can probably
75 * find less verbose introductions by searching the web.
77 * \section features Library features
79 * - All transfer types supported (control/bulk/interrupt/isochronous)
80 * - 2 transfer interfaces:
81 * -# Synchronous (simple)
82 * -# Asynchronous (more complicated, but more powerful)
83 * - Thread safe (although the asynchronous interface means that you
84 * usually won't need to thread)
85 * - Lightweight with lean API
86 * - Compatible with libusb-0.1 through the libusb-compat-0.1 translation layer
88 * \section gettingstarted Getting Started
90 * To begin reading the API documentation, start with the Modules page which
91 * links to the different categories of libusbx's functionality.
93 * One decision you will have to make is whether to use the synchronous
94 * or the asynchronous data transfer interface. The \ref io documentation
95 * provides some insight into this topic.
97 * Some example programs can be found in the libusbx source distribution under
98 * the "examples" subdirectory. The libusbx homepage includes a list of
99 * real-life project examples which use libusbx.
101 * \section errorhandling Error handling
103 * libusbx functions typically return 0 on success or a negative error code
104 * on failure. These negative error codes relate to LIBUSB_ERROR constants
105 * which are listed on the \ref misc "miscellaneous" documentation page.
107 * \section msglog Debug message logging
109 * libusbx does not log any messages by default. Your application is therefore
110 * free to close stdout/stderr and those descriptors may be reused without
111 * worry.
113 * The libusb_set_debug() function can be used to enable stdout/stderr logging
114 * of certain messages. Under standard configuration, libusbx doesn't really
115 * log much at all, so you are advised to use this function to enable all
116 * error/warning/informational messages. It will help you debug problems with
117 * your software.
119 * The logged messages are unstructured. There is no one-to-one correspondence
120 * between messages being logged and success or failure return codes from
121 * libusbx functions. There is no format to the messages, so you should not
122 * try to capture or parse them. They are not and will not be localized.
123 * These messages are not suitable for being passed to your application user;
124 * instead, you should interpret the error codes returned from libusbx functions
125 * and provide appropriate notification to the user. The messages are simply
126 * there to aid you as a programmer, and if you're confused because you're
127 * getting a strange error code from a libusbx function, enabling message
128 * logging may give you a suitable explanation.
130 * The LIBUSB_DEBUG environment variable can be used to enable message logging
131 * at run-time. This environment variable should be set to a number, which is
132 * interpreted the same as the libusb_set_debug() parameter. When this
133 * environment variable is set, the message logging verbosity level is fixed
134 * and libusb_set_debug() effectively does nothing.
136 * libusbx can be compiled without any logging functions, useful for embedded
137 * systems. In this case, libusb_set_debug() and the LIBUSB_DEBUG environment
138 * variable have no effects.
140 * libusbx can also be compiled with verbose debugging messages. When the
141 * library is compiled in this way, all messages of all verbosities are always
142 * logged. libusb_set_debug() and the LIBUSB_DEBUG environment variable have
143 * no effects.
145 * \section remarks Other remarks
147 * libusbx does have imperfections. The \ref caveats "caveats" page attempts
148 * to document these.
152 * \page caveats Caveats
154 * \section devresets Device resets
156 * The libusb_reset_device() function allows you to reset a device. If your
157 * program has to call such a function, it should obviously be aware that
158 * the reset will cause device state to change (e.g. register values may be
159 * reset).
161 * The problem is that any other program could reset the device your program
162 * is working with, at any time. libusbx does not offer a mechanism to inform
163 * you when this has happened, so if someone else resets your device it will
164 * not be clear to your own program why the device state has changed.
166 * Ultimately, this is a limitation of writing drivers in userspace.
167 * Separation from the USB stack in the underlying kernel makes it difficult
168 * for the operating system to deliver such notifications to your program.
169 * The Linux kernel USB stack allows such reset notifications to be delivered
170 * to in-kernel USB drivers, but it is not clear how such notifications could
171 * be delivered to second-class drivers that live in userspace.
173 * \section blockonly Blocking-only functionality
175 * The functionality listed below is only available through synchronous,
176 * blocking functions. There are no asynchronous/non-blocking alternatives,
177 * and no clear ways of implementing these.
179 * - Configuration activation (libusb_set_configuration())
180 * - Interface/alternate setting activation (libusb_set_interface_alt_setting())
181 * - Releasing of interfaces (libusb_release_interface())
182 * - Clearing of halt/stall condition (libusb_clear_halt())
183 * - Device resets (libusb_reset_device())
185 * \section nohotplug No hotplugging
187 * libusbx-1.0 lacks functionality for providing notifications of when devices
188 * are added or removed. This functionality is planned to be implemented
189 * in a later version of libusbx.
191 * That said, there is basic disconnection handling for open device handles:
192 * - If there are ongoing transfers, libusbx's handle_events loop will detect
193 * disconnections and complete ongoing transfers with the
194 * LIBUSB_TRANSFER_NO_DEVICE status code.
195 * - Many functions such as libusb_set_configuration() return the special
196 * LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE error code when the device has been disconnected.
198 * \section configsel Configuration selection and handling
200 * When libusbx presents a device handle to an application, there is a chance
201 * that the corresponding device may be in unconfigured state. For devices
202 * with multiple configurations, there is also a chance that the configuration
203 * currently selected is not the one that the application wants to use.
205 * The obvious solution is to add a call to libusb_set_configuration() early
206 * on during your device initialization routines, but there are caveats to
207 * be aware of:
208 * -# If the device is already in the desired configuration, calling
209 * libusb_set_configuration() using the same configuration value will cause
210 * a lightweight device reset. This may not be desirable behaviour.
211 * -# libusbx will be unable to change configuration if the device is in
212 * another configuration and other programs or drivers have claimed
213 * interfaces under that configuration.
214 * -# In the case where the desired configuration is already active, libusbx
215 * may not even be able to perform a lightweight device reset. For example,
216 * take my USB keyboard with fingerprint reader: I'm interested in driving
217 * the fingerprint reader interface through libusbx, but the kernel's
218 * USB-HID driver will almost always have claimed the keyboard interface.
219 * Because the kernel has claimed an interface, it is not even possible to
220 * perform the lightweight device reset, so libusb_set_configuration() will
221 * fail. (Luckily the device in question only has a single configuration.)
223 * One solution to some of the above problems is to consider the currently
224 * active configuration. If the configuration we want is already active, then
225 * we don't have to select any configuration:
226 \code
227 cfg = libusb_get_configuration(dev);
228 if (cfg != desired)
229 libusb_set_configuration(dev, desired);
230 \endcode
232 * This is probably suitable for most scenarios, but is inherently racy:
233 * another application or driver may change the selected configuration
234 * <em>after</em> the libusb_get_configuration() call.
236 * Even in cases where libusb_set_configuration() succeeds, consider that other
237 * applications or drivers may change configuration after your application
238 * calls libusb_set_configuration().
240 * One possible way to lock your device into a specific configuration is as
241 * follows:
242 * -# Set the desired configuration (or use the logic above to realise that
243 * it is already in the desired configuration)
244 * -# Claim the interface that you wish to use
245 * -# Check that the currently active configuration is the one that you want
246 * to use.
248 * The above method works because once an interface is claimed, no application
249 * or driver is able to select another configuration.
251 * \section earlycomp Early transfer completion
253 * NOTE: This section is currently Linux-centric. I am not sure if any of these
254 * considerations apply to Darwin or other platforms.
256 * When a transfer completes early (i.e. when less data is received/sent in
257 * any one packet than the transfer buffer allows for) then libusbx is designed
258 * to terminate the transfer immediately, not transferring or receiving any
259 * more data unless other transfers have been queued by the user.
261 * On legacy platforms, libusbx is unable to do this in all situations. After
262 * the incomplete packet occurs, "surplus" data may be transferred. For recent
263 * versions of libusbx, this information is kept (the data length of the
264 * transfer is updated) and, for device-to-host transfers, any surplus data was
265 * added to the buffer. Still, this is not a nice solution because it loses the
266 * information about the end of the short packet, and the user probably wanted
267 * that surplus data to arrive in the next logical transfer.
270 * \section zlp Zero length packets
272 * - libusbx is able to send a packet of zero length to an endpoint simply by
273 * submitting a transfer of zero length.
274 * - The \ref libusb_transfer_flags::LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ADD_ZERO_PACKET
275 * "LIBUSB_TRANSFER_ADD_ZERO_PACKET" flag is currently only supported on Linux.
279 * \page contexts Contexts
281 * It is possible that libusbx may be used simultaneously from two independent
282 * libraries linked into the same executable. For example, if your application
283 * has a plugin-like system which allows the user to dynamically load a range
284 * of modules into your program, it is feasible that two independently
285 * developed modules may both use libusbx.
287 * libusbx is written to allow for these multiple user scenarios. The two
288 * "instances" of libusbx will not interfere: libusb_set_debug() calls
289 * from one user will not affect the same settings for other users, other
290 * users can continue using libusbx after one of them calls libusb_exit(), etc.
292 * This is made possible through libusbx's <em>context</em> concept. When you
293 * call libusb_init(), you are (optionally) given a context. You can then pass
294 * this context pointer back into future libusbx functions.
296 * In order to keep things simple for more simplistic applications, it is
297 * legal to pass NULL to all functions requiring a context pointer (as long as
298 * you're sure no other code will attempt to use libusbx from the same process).
299 * When you pass NULL, the default context will be used. The default context
300 * is created the first time a process calls libusb_init() when no other
301 * context is alive. Contexts are destroyed during libusb_exit().
303 * The default context is reference-counted and can be shared. That means that
304 * if libusb_init(NULL) is called twice within the same process, the two
305 * users end up sharing the same context. The deinitialization and freeing of
306 * the default context will only happen when the last user calls libusb_exit().
307 * In other words, the default context is created and initialized when its
308 * reference count goes from 0 to 1, and is deinitialized and destroyed when
309 * its reference count goes from 1 to 0.
311 * You may be wondering why only a subset of libusbx functions require a
312 * context pointer in their function definition. Internally, libusbx stores
313 * context pointers in other objects (e.g. libusb_device instances) and hence
314 * can infer the context from those objects.
318 * @defgroup lib Library initialization/deinitialization
319 * This page details how to initialize and deinitialize libusbx. Initialization
320 * must be performed before using any libusbx functionality, and similarly you
321 * must not call any libusbx functions after deinitialization.
325 * @defgroup dev Device handling and enumeration
326 * The functionality documented below is designed to help with the following
327 * operations:
328 * - Enumerating the USB devices currently attached to the system
329 * - Choosing a device to operate from your software
330 * - Opening and closing the chosen device
332 * \section nutshell In a nutshell...
334 * The description below really makes things sound more complicated than they
335 * actually are. The following sequence of function calls will be suitable
336 * for almost all scenarios and does not require you to have such a deep
337 * understanding of the resource management issues:
338 * \code
339 // discover devices
340 libusb_device **list;
341 libusb_device *found = NULL;
342 ssize_t cnt = libusb_get_device_list(NULL, &list);
343 ssize_t i = 0;
344 int err = 0;
345 if (cnt < 0)
346 error();
348 for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
349 libusb_device *device = list[i];
350 if (is_interesting(device)) {
351 found = device;
352 break;
356 if (found) {
357 libusb_device_handle *handle;
359 err = libusb_open(found, &handle);
360 if (err)
361 error();
362 // etc
365 libusb_free_device_list(list, 1);
366 \endcode
368 * The two important points:
369 * - You asked libusb_free_device_list() to unreference the devices (2nd
370 * parameter)
371 * - You opened the device before freeing the list and unreferencing the
372 * devices
374 * If you ended up with a handle, you can now proceed to perform I/O on the
375 * device.
377 * \section devshandles Devices and device handles
378 * libusbx has a concept of a USB device, represented by the
379 * \ref libusb_device opaque type. A device represents a USB device that
380 * is currently or was previously connected to the system. Using a reference
381 * to a device, you can determine certain information about the device (e.g.
382 * you can read the descriptor data).
384 * The libusb_get_device_list() function can be used to obtain a list of
385 * devices currently connected to the system. This is known as device
386 * discovery.
388 * Just because you have a reference to a device does not mean it is
389 * necessarily usable. The device may have been unplugged, you may not have
390 * permission to operate such device, or another program or driver may be
391 * using the device.
393 * When you've found a device that you'd like to operate, you must ask
394 * libusbx to open the device using the libusb_open() function. Assuming
395 * success, libusbx then returns you a <em>device handle</em>
396 * (a \ref libusb_device_handle pointer). All "real" I/O operations then
397 * operate on the handle rather than the original device pointer.
399 * \section devref Device discovery and reference counting
401 * Device discovery (i.e. calling libusb_get_device_list()) returns a
402 * freshly-allocated list of devices. The list itself must be freed when
403 * you are done with it. libusbx also needs to know when it is OK to free
404 * the contents of the list - the devices themselves.
406 * To handle these issues, libusbx provides you with two separate items:
407 * - A function to free the list itself
408 * - A reference counting system for the devices inside
410 * New devices presented by the libusb_get_device_list() function all have a
411 * reference count of 1. You can increase and decrease reference count using
412 * libusb_ref_device() and libusb_unref_device(). A device is destroyed when
413 * its reference count reaches 0.
415 * With the above information in mind, the process of opening a device can
416 * be viewed as follows:
417 * -# Discover devices using libusb_get_device_list().
418 * -# Choose the device that you want to operate, and call libusb_open().
419 * -# Unref all devices in the discovered device list.
420 * -# Free the discovered device list.
422 * The order is important - you must not unreference the device before
423 * attempting to open it, because unreferencing it may destroy the device.
425 * For convenience, the libusb_free_device_list() function includes a
426 * parameter to optionally unreference all the devices in the list before
427 * freeing the list itself. This combines steps 3 and 4 above.
429 * As an implementation detail, libusb_open() actually adds a reference to
430 * the device in question. This is because the device remains available
431 * through the handle via libusb_get_device(). The reference is deleted during
432 * libusb_close().
435 /** @defgroup misc Miscellaneous */
