Hi,
I found an example on how to use libudev to iterate over devices present
in the system to find its precise path since the path can be different
everytime we plug a device into the system.
http://www.signal11.us/oss/udev/
In this example, the type of device searched is hidraw, however I have
already tried input, event, etc and none of this match criterias in the
following function:
|*udev_enumerate_add_match_subsystem*(enumerate,*"hidraw"*);|
Only hidraw seems to work.
Can I use this technic to found the path a of input event device?
Thanks,
With my best regards,
Nuno
Hi,
After digging a little bit around this i found that my problem is with
this function:
dev = udev_device
*udev_device_get_parent_with_subsystem_devtype(dev,"usb","usb_device");
dev is always null. He can't find me the usb device for my input device.
Maybe i'm not specifiying subsystem and dev type correctly.
If I make several calls to udev_device_get_parent I can get to the
correct device.
Does anyone knows what should be the correct subsystem and dev type pair
to find the parent usb device for an input device?
Thanks,
Nuno

You can find out the most specific subsystem and devtype yourself using:
udevadm monitor
and then plugging the device in.
