Re: Findind input event device path with libudev

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

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
