libusbx is a library that provides generic access to USB devices. As a library, it is meant to be used by developers, to facilitate the development of applications that communicate with USB hardware.
It is portable: Using a single cross-platform API, it provides access to USB devices on Linux, OS X, Windows and OpenBSD.
It is user-mode: No special privilege or elevation is required for the application to communicate with a device.
It is version-agnostic: All versions of the USB protocol, from 1.0 to 3.0 (latest), are supported.
