Just write some code to do so using either libusb, or your own sysfs scanning logic or talk directly to all of the usb devices using usbfs. > The service program should trigger scanning all the USB devices on any > USB device detection or removal. Can libusb be used for it? For detection/removal, no, libusb isn't for that. udev can provide you the needed callbacks to your code for that situation. But what problem are you trying to solve that isn't already handled by the kernel and userspace usb handling logic already? good luck! greg k-h
