Use IOKitLib to hear about devices straight from the kernel, then work out what /dev node they got mapped to. See Finding and Accessing Devices in the Accessing Hardware from Applications documentation, particularly the "Setting Up a Matching Dictionary to Find Device Files" section: <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/devicedrivers/conceptual/AccessingHardware/AH_Finding_Devices/AH_Finding_Devices.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000379-BAJDAJDJ> --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
