[libhid-discuss] Need API for identifying the port no to which the usb device is connected

[shivaprasad javali]

Thanks for all the info. Now i have figured out how to do it.. I got the bus
no from the hid itself and the port no by parsing the /proc/bus/usb/devces
file and combined the two to get a unique identifier for the usb port to
which my USB device is connected.

I have another question for you.

If I connect two USB devices to my machine, I need to loop to get all the
handles for the USB devices(right??). So I will have to call
hid_force_open() and the other calls in a  loop. How can I instruct  the
hid_force_open() call to pick up the next US B device ,  If it has already
got one of the handles.

Thanks
Shivaprasad
