Scan 1D barcodes using a hand scanner for Rust.
The barcode-scanner
crate provides a Linux interface to barcode USB hand scanners. It works with the Device
struct from the evdev
crate.
Currently supported features:
* One [BarcodeScanner
] struct for all USB hand scanners that operate as a keyboard.
* Prevent other clients from receiving events from the selected device by grabbing it.
* Read 1D barcode consisting of numbers and letters.
* Omit special characters in a barcode.
This example grabs a hand scanner and prints a barcode that is read.
```rust use barcode_scanner::BarcodeScanner;
let scanner = BarcodeScanner::new("usb-0000:00:14.0-3/input0")?;
loop {
let barcode = scanner.read()?;
println!("{}", barcode);
}
```
