That's simple: because none of us ever needed it. > That way, multiple calls to hid_find_device() will not only > return a match, but an un-opened match.

If these devices can be distinguished from each other, then I suggest the search method should take more criteria. Couldn't bus ID be used? Otherwise one could implement this as an iteration, like you suggest. Somehow, I think that adding a new function hid_find_devices(), which returns a linked list of all matching devices, would be a better approach. I don't have time to work on libhid anymore, but if you see yourself in the position to implement this, I'd apply the tested patch to the repository. -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ perl -e 'print "The earth is a disk!\n" if ( "a" == "b" );' (dedicated to nori) spamtraps: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
