NAME

Device::USB::Bus - Use libusb to access USB devices.

VERSION

Version 0.11

SYNOPSIS

This class encapsulates the USB bus structure and provides methods for retrieving data from it. This class is not meant to be used alone, it is part of the Device::USB package.

Device:USB:LibUSB provides a Perl wrapper around the libusb library. This supports Perl code controlling and accessing USB devices.

    use Device::USB;

    my $usb = Device::USB->new();

    foreach my $bus ($usb->list_busses())
    {
        print $bus->dirname(), ":\n";
        foreach my $dev ($bus->devices())
        {
            print "\t", $dev->filename(), "\n";
        }
    }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Perl interface to the bus structures returned by the libusb library.. This library supports a read-only interface to the data libusb returns about a USB bus.

FUNCTIONS

dirname

Return the directory name associated with this bus.

location

Return the location value associated with this bus.

devices

In array context, it returns a list of Device::USB::Device objects representing all of the devices on this bus. In scalar context, it returns a reference to that array.

DIAGNOSTICS

This is an explanation of the diagnostic and error messages this module can generate.

DEPENDENCIES

This module depends on the Carp and Device::USB, as well as the strict and warnings pragmas. Obviously, libusb must be available since that is the entire reason for the module's existence.
