HI everybody, I have a Symbol USB barcode scanner that appears to work with Linux. If I bring up a Konsole window and give it focus, characters are typed into that window as I scan barcodes. However, what I'd like to do is grab those characters in a C program. I suppose that I should be able to open the proper device and the characters would be available. Note, however, that I'd like to be able to clearly distinguish characters coming from the barcode scanner vs. characters from the keyboard. That's what I don't know how to do. I've looked around in /sys/bus/usb and also on Google, but have not found the answer. Any assistance you may provide would be very much appreciated. Please cc me on any replies as I'm not a list subscriber. Thanks!
