Read Me for USBPrivateDataSample 1.2 |
------------------------------------ |
October 5, 2006 |
Demonstrates how to use IOKitLib and IOUSBLib to set up asynchronous callbacks when a USB device is attached to or removed from the system. It also shows how to associate arbitrary data with each device instance. |
Sample Requirements |
------------------- |
This sample requires Mac OS X and Xcode 2.2.1 or later to build. The sample runs on Mac OS X 10.2 or later. |
About the Sample |
---------------- |
The sample uses the I/O Kit APIs to register for asynchronous notifications (callbacks) when a device with a given vendor and product ID has been plugged in. The notification structure has a refcon field where the sample stores a pointer to a block of memory where information about that device can be kept. |
When a device arrives, another callback is registered that will be called when the device is removed. |
Using the Sample |
