Device::USB::DevInterface

       This class encapsulates a USB Device Interface and the methods that object would support.

NAME

       Device::USB::DevInterface - Access a device interface returned by libusb.

VERSION

       Version 0.36

SYNOPSIS

       Device::USB:DevInterface provides a Perl object for accessing an interface of a
       configuration of a USB device using the libusb library.

           use Device::USB;

           my $usb = Device::USB->new();
           my $dev = $usb->find_device( $VENDOR, $PRODUCT );

           printf "Device: %04X:%04X\n", $dev->idVendor(), $dev->idProduct();
           $dev->open();

           my $cfg = $dev->config()->[0];
           my $inter = $cfg->interfaces()->[0];
           print "Interface:", $inter->bInterfaceNumber(),
              " name: ", $dev->get_string_simple($iter->iInterface()),
              ": endpoint count: ", $inter->nNumEndpoints(), "\n";

       See USB specification for an explanation of the attributes of an interface.

DESCRIPTION

       This module defines a Perl object that represents the data associated with a USB device
       configuration's interface. The object provides read-only access to the important data
       associated with the interface.

   METHODS
       There are several accessor methods that return data from the interface.  Each is named
       after the field that they return. These accessors include:

       bInterfaceNumber
           The 0-based number of this interface.

       bAlternateSetting
           Value used to select this alternate setting for the interface specified in
           bInterfaceNumber.

       bNumEndpoints
           Number of endpoints (excluding endpoint 0) available on this interface.  If the value
           is 0, only the control interface is supported.

       bInterfaceClass
           Class code as specified by the USB-IF. A value of 0xff is a vendor-specific interface
           class.

       bInterfaceSubClass
           Subclass code specified by the USB-IF. If bInterfaceClass is not 0xff, this field must
           use only subclasses specified by the USB-IF.

       bInterfaceProtocol
           The InterfaceProtocol as specified by the USB-IF. A value of 0xff uses a vendor-
           specific protocol.

       iInterface
           Returns the index of the string descriptor describing this interface.  The string can
           be retrieved using the method "Device::USB::Device::get_string_simple".

       endpoints
           Returns a list of endpoint objects associated with this interface.

DIAGNOSTICS

       This is an explanation of the diagnostic and error messages this module can generate.

DEPENDENCIES

       This module depends on the Carp, Inline and Inline::C modules, as well as the strict and
       warnings pragmas. Obviously, libusb must be available since that is the entire reason for
       the module's existence.
