Warning: If you just need to use libusb, you might be better off with the libusb crate.
This crate exists mainly to provide linkage to libusb-compat-0.1, which is useful for creating Rust bindings to projects which utilize libusb 0.1.
In summary, it provides:
- Low-level bindings to libusb-compat-0.1, generated by bindgen
- Metadata which allows dependent crates to find the libusb/usb.h header, compile native code that depends on libusb-compat-0.1 or link to it in Rust code.
- Vendored submodule copy of libusb-compat-0.1 (with build tweaks for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc), which means you don't have to separately install libusb-compat-0.1 to use this crate.
Add usb-compat-01-sys as a dependency in your project's Cargo.toml file:
toml
[dependencies]
usb-compat-01-sys = "0.1"
Import the usb_compat_01_sys crate in your project, then you can use all functions starting with usb_ from libusb-compat-0.1.
See the libusb-compat-0.1 wiki or libusb-compat-0.1 1.8.0 examples for information on how to use it. The API is the same, as this is just a binding.
