49 * \section intro Introduction
51 * libusb is an open source library that allows you to communicate with USB
52 * devices from userspace. For more info, see the
53 * <a href="http://libusb.sourceforge.net">libusb homepage</a>.
55 * This documentation is aimed at application developers wishing to
56 * communicate with USB peripherals from their own software. After reviewing
57 * this documentation, feedback and questions can be sent to the
58 * <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=1674">libusb-devel mailing
61 * This documentation assumes knowledge of how to operate USB devices from
62 * a software standpoint (descriptors, configurations, interfaces, endpoints,
63 * control/bulk/interrupt/isochronous transfers, etc). Full information
64 * can be found in the <a href="http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/">USB 2.0
65 * Specification</a> which is available for free download. You can probably
66 * find less verbose introductions by searching the web.
68 * \section features Library features
70 * - All transfer types supported (control/bulk/interrupt/isochronous)
71 * - 2 transfer interfaces:
72 * -# Synchronous (simple)
73 * -# Asynchronous (more complicated, but more powerful)
74 * - Thread safe (although the asynchronous interface means that you
75 * usually won't need to thread)
76 * - Lightweight with lean API
77 * - Compatible with libusb-0.1 through the libusb-compat-0.1 translation layer
79 * \section gettingstarted Getting Started
81 * To begin reading the API documentation, start with the Modules page which
82 * links to the different categories of libusb's functionality.
84 * One decision you will have to make is whether to use the synchronous
85 * or the asynchronous data transfer interface. The \ref io documentation
86 * provides some insight into this topic.
88 * Some example programs can be found in the libusb source distribution under
89 * the "examples" subdirectory. The libusb homepage includes a list of
90 * real-life project examples which use libusb.
92 * \section errorhandling Error handling
94 * libusb functions typically return 0 on success or a negative error code
95 * on failure. These negative error codes relate to LIBUSB_ERROR constants
96 * which are listed on the \ref misc "miscellaneous" documentation page.
98 * \section msglog Debug message logging
100 * libusb does not log any messages by default. Your application is therefore
101 * free to close stdout/stderr and those descriptors may be reused without
104 * The libusb_set_debug() function can be used to enable stdout/stderr logging
105 * of certain messages. Under standard configuration, libusb doesn't really
106 * log much at all, so you are advised to use this function to enable all
107 * error/warning/informational messages. It will help you debug problems with
110 * The logged messages are unstructured. There is no one-to-one correspondence
111 * between messages being logged and success or failure return codes from
112 * libusb functions. There is no format to the messages, so you should not
113 * try to capture or parse them. They are not and will not be localized.
114 * These messages are not suitable for being passed to your application user;
115 * instead, you should interpret the error codes returned from libusb functions
116 * and provide appropriate notification to the user. The messages are simply
117 * there to aid you as a programmer, and if you're confused because you're
118 * getting a strange error code from a libusb function, enabling message
119 * logging may give you a suitable explanation.
121 * The LIBUSB_DEBUG environment variable can be used to enable message logging
122 * at run-time. This environment variable should be set to a number, which is
123 * interpreted the same as the libusb_set_debug() parameter. When this
124 * environment variable is set, the message logging verbosity level is fixed
125 * and libusb_set_debug() effectively does nothing.
127 * libusb can be compiled without any logging functions, useful for embedded
128 * systems. In this case, libusb_set_debug() and the LIBUSB_DEBUG environment
129 * variable have no effects.
131 * libusb can also be compiled with verbose debugging messages. When the
132 * library is compiled in this way, all messages of all verbosities are always
133 * logged. libusb_set_debug() and the LIBUSB_DEBUG environment variable have
136 * \section remarks Other remarks
138 * libusb does have imperfections. The \ref caveats "caveats" page attempts
143 * \page caveats Caveats
145 * \section devresets Device resets
147 * The libusb_reset_device() function allows you to reset a device. If your
148 * program has to call such a function, it should obviously be aware that
149 * the reset will cause device state to change (e.g. register values may be
152 * The problem is that any other program could reset the device your program
153 * is working with, at any time. libusb does not offer a mechanism to inform
154 * you when this has happened, so if someone else resets your device it will
155 * not be clear to your own program why the device state has changed.
157 * Ultimately, this is a limitation of writing drivers in userspace.
158 * Separation from the USB stack in the underlying kernel makes it difficult
159 * for the operating system to deliver such notifications to your program.
160 * The Linux kernel USB stack allows such reset notifications to be delivered
161 * to in-kernel USB drivers, but it is not clear how such notifications could
162 * be delivered to second-class drivers that live in userspace.
164 * \section blockonly Blocking-only functionality
166 * The functionality listed below is only available through synchronous,
167 * blocking functions. There are no asynchronous/non-blocking alternatives,
168 * and no clear ways of implementing these.
170 * - Configuration activation (libusb_set_configuration())
171 * - Interface/alternate setting activation (libusb_set_interface_alt_setting())
172 * - Releasing of interfaces (libusb_release_interface())
173 * - Clearing of halt/stall condition (libusb_clear_halt())
174 * - Device resets (libusb_reset_device())
176 * \section nohotplug No hotplugging
178 * libusb-1.0 lacks functionality for providing notifications of when devices
179 * are added or removed. This functionality is planned to be implemented
182 * That said, there is basic disconnection handling for open device handles:
183 * - If there are ongoing transfers, libusb's handle_events loop will detect
184 * disconnections and complete ongoing transfers with the
185 * LIBUSB_TRANSFER_NO_DEVICE status code.
186 * - Many functions such as libusb_set_configuration() return the special
187 * LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE error code when the device has been disconnected.
189 * \section configsel Configuration selection and handling
191 * When libusb presents a device handle to an application, there is a chance
192 * that the corresponding device may be in unconfigured state. For devices
193 * with multiple configurations, there is also a chance that the configuration
194 * currently selected is not the one that the application wants to use.
196 * The obvious solution is to add a call to libusb_set_configuration() early
197 * on during your device initialization routines, but there are caveats to
199 * -# If the device is already in the desired configuration, calling
200 * libusb_set_configuration() using the same configuration value will cause
201 * a lightweight device reset. This may not be desirable behaviour.
202 * -# libusb will be unable to change configuration if the device is in
203 * another configuration and other programs or drivers have claimed
204 * interfaces under that configuration.
205 * -# In the case where the desired configuration is already active, libusb
206 * may not even be able to perform a lightweight device reset. For example,
207 * take my USB keyboard with fingerprint reader: I'm interested in driving
208 * the fingerprint reader interface through libusb, but the kernel's
209 * USB-HID driver will almost always have claimed the keyboard interface.
210 * Because the kernel has claimed an interface, it is not even possible to
211 * perform the lightweight device reset, so libusb_set_configuration() will
212 * fail. (Luckily the device in question only has a single configuration.)
214 * One solution to some of the above problems is to consider the currently
215 * active configuration. If the configuration we want is already active, then
216 * we don't have to select any configuration:
218 cfg = libusb_get_configuration(dev);
220 libusb_set_configuration(dev, desired);
223 * This is probably suitable for most scenarios, but is inherently racy:
224 * another application or driver may change the selected configuration
225 * <em>after</em> the libusb_get_configuration() call.
227 * Even in cases where libusb_set_configuration() succeeds, consider that other
228 * applications or drivers may change configuration after your application
229 * calls libusb_set_configuration().
231 * One possible way to lock your device into a specific configuration is as
233 * -# Set the desired configuration (or use the logic above to realise that
234 * it is already in the desired configuration)
235 * -# Claim the interface that you wish to use
236 * -# Check that the currently active configuration is the one that you want
239 * The above method works because once an interface is claimed, no application
240 * or driver is able to select another configuration.
242 * \section earlycomp Early transfer completion
244 * NOTE: This section is currently Linux-centric. I am not sure if any of these
245 * considerations apply to Darwin or other platforms.
247 * When a transfer completes early (i.e. when less data is received/sent in
248 * any one packet than the transfer buffer allows for) then libusb is designed
249 * to terminate the transfer immediately, not transferring or receiving any
250 * more data unless other transfers have been queued by the user.
252 * On legacy platforms, libusb is unable to do this in all situations. After
253 * the incomplete packet occurs, "surplus" data may be transferred. Prior to
254 * libusb v1.0.2, this information was lost (and for device-to-host transfers,
255 * the corresponding data was discarded). As of libusb v1.0.3, this information
256 * is kept (the data length of the transfer is updated) and, for device-to-host
257 * transfers, any surplus data was added to the buffer. Still, this is not
258 * a nice solution because it loses the information about the end of the short
259 * packet, and the user probably wanted that surplus data to arrive in the next
262 * A previous workaround was to only ever submit transfers of size 16kb or
265 * As of libusb v1.0.4 and Linux v2.6.32, this is fixed. A technical
266 * explanation of this issue follows.
268 * When you ask libusb to submit a bulk transfer larger than 16kb in size,
269 * libusb breaks it up into a number of smaller subtransfers. This is because
270 * the usbfs kernel interface only accepts transfers of up to 16kb in size.
271 * The subtransfers are submitted all at once so that the kernel can queue
272 * them at the hardware level, therefore maximizing bus throughput.
274 * On legacy platforms, this caused problems when transfers completed early.
275 * Upon this event, the kernel would terminate all further packets in that
276 * subtransfer (but not any following ones). libusb would note this event and
277 * immediately cancel any following subtransfers that had been queued,
278 * but often libusb was not fast enough, and the following subtransfers had
279 * started before libusb got around to cancelling them.
281 * Thanks to an API extension to usbfs, this is fixed with recent kernel and
282 * libusb releases. The solution was to allow libusb to communicate to the
283 * kernel where boundaries occur between logical libusb-level transfers. When
284 * a short transfer (or other error) occurs, the kernel will cancel all the
285 * subtransfers until the boundary without allowing those transfers to start.
289 * \page contexts Contexts
291 * It is possible that libusb may be used simultaneously from two independent
292 * libraries linked into the same executable. For example, if your application
293 * has a plugin-like system which allows the user to dynamically load a range
294 * of modules into your program, it is feasible that two independently
295 * developed modules may both use libusb.
297 * libusb is written to allow for these multiple user scenarios. The two
298 * "instances" of libusb will not interfere: libusb_set_debug() calls
299 * from one user will not affect the same settings for other users, other
300 * users can continue using libusb after one of them calls libusb_exit(), etc.
302 * This is made possible through libusb's <em>context</em> concept. When you
303 * call libusb_init(), you are (optionally) given a context. You can then pass
304 * this context pointer back into future libusb functions.
306 * In order to keep things simple for more simplistic applications, it is
307 * legal to pass NULL to all functions requiring a context pointer (as long as
308 * you're sure no other code will attempt to use libusb from the same process).
309 * When you pass NULL, the default context will be used. The default context
310 * is created the first time a process calls libusb_init() when no other
311 * context is alive. Contexts are destroyed during libusb_exit().
313 * The default context is reference-counted and can be shared. That means that
314 * if libusb_init(NULL) is called twice within the same process, the two
315 * users end up sharing the same context. The deinitialization and freeing of
316 * the default context will only happen when the last user calls libusb_exit().
317 * In other words, the default context is created and initialized when its
318 * reference count goes from 0 to 1, and is deinitialized and destroyed when
319 * its reference count goes from 1 to 0.
321 * You may be wondering why only a subset of libusb functions require a
322 * context pointer in their function definition. Internally, libusb stores
323 * context pointers in other objects (e.g. libusb_device instances) and hence
324 * can infer the context from those objects.
328 * @defgroup lib Library initialization/deinitialization
329 * This page details how to initialize and deinitialize libusb. Initialization
330 * must be performed before using any libusb functionality, and similarly you
331 * must not call any libusb functions after deinitialization.
335 * @defgroup dev Device handling and enumeration
336 * The functionality documented below is designed to help with the following
338 * - Enumerating the USB devices currently attached to the system
339 * - Choosing a device to operate from your software
340 * - Opening and closing the chosen device
342 * \section nutshell In a nutshell...
344 * The description below really makes things sound more complicated than they
345 * actually are. The following sequence of function calls will be suitable
346 * for almost all scenarios and does not require you to have such a deep
347 * understanding of the resource management issues:
350 libusb_device **list;
351 libusb_device *found = NULL;
352 ssize_t cnt = libusb_get_device_list(NULL, &list);
358 for (i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
359 libusb_device *device = list[i];
360 if (is_interesting(device)) {
367 libusb_device_handle *handle;
369 err = libusb_open(found, &handle);
375 libusb_free_device_list(list, 1);
378 * The two important points:
379 * - You asked libusb_free_device_list() to unreference the devices (2nd
381 * - You opened the device before freeing the list and unreferencing the
384 * If you ended up with a handle, you can now proceed to perform I/O on the
387 * \section devshandles Devices and device handles
388 * libusb has a concept of a USB device, represented by the
389 * \ref libusb_device opaque type. A device represents a USB device that
390 * is currently or was previously connected to the system. Using a reference
391 * to a device, you can determine certain information about the device (e.g.
392 * you can read the descriptor data).
394 * The libusb_get_device_list() function can be used to obtain a list of
395 * devices currently connected to the system. This is known as device
398 * Just because you have a reference to a device does not mean it is
399 * necessarily usable. The device may have been unplugged, you may not have
400 * permission to operate such device, or another program or driver may be
403 * When you've found a device that you'd like to operate, you must ask
404 * libusb to open the device using the libusb_open() function. Assuming
405 * success, libusb then returns you a <em>device handle</em>
406 * (a \ref libusb_device_handle pointer). All "real" I/O operations then
407 * operate on the handle rather than the original device pointer.
409 * \section devref Device discovery and reference counting
411 * Device discovery (i.e. calling libusb_get_device_list()) returns a
412 * freshly-allocated list of devices. The list itself must be freed when
413 * you are done with it. libusb also needs to know when it is OK to free
414 * the contents of the list - the devices themselves.
416 * To handle these issues, libusb provides you with two separate items:
417 * - A function to free the list itself
418 * - A reference counting system for the devices inside
420 * New devices presented by the libusb_get_device_list() function all have a
421 * reference count of 1. You can increase and decrease reference count using
422 * libusb_ref_device() and libusb_unref_device(). A device is destroyed when
423 * its reference count reaches 0.
425 * With the above information in mind, the process of opening a device can
426 * be viewed as follows:
427 * -# Discover devices using libusb_get_device_list().
428 * -# Choose the device that you want to operate, and call libusb_open().
429 * -# Unref all devices in the discovered device list.
430 * -# Free the discovered device list.
432 * The order is important - you must not unreference the device before
433 * attempting to open it, because unreferencing it may destroy the device.
435 * For convenience, the libusb_free_device_list() function includes a
436 * parameter to optionally unreference all the devices in the list before
437 * freeing the list itself. This combines steps 3 and 4 above.
439 * As an implementation detail, libusb_open() actually adds a reference to
440 * the device in question. This is because the device remains available
441 * through the handle via libusb_get_device(). The reference is deleted during
