package Device::USB::Bus; require 5.006; use warnings; use strict; use Carp; =head1 NAME Device::USB::Bus - Use libusb to access USB devices. =head1 VERSION Version 0.12 =cut our $VERSION=0.12; =head1 SYNOPSIS This class encapsulates the USB bus structure and provides methods for retrieving data from it. This class is not meant to be used alone, it is part of the Device::USB package. Device:USB:LibUSB provides a Perl wrapper around the libusb library. This supports Perl code controlling and accessing USB devices. use Device::USB; my $usb = Device::USB->new(); foreach my $bus ($usb->list_busses()) { print $bus->dirname(), ":\n"; foreach my $dev ($bus->devices()) { print "\t", $dev->filename(), "\n"; } } =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides a Perl interface to the bus structures returned by the libusb library. This library supports a read-only interface to the data libusb returns about a USB bus. =head1 FUNCTIONS =over 4 =item dirname Return the directory name associated with this bus. =cut sub dirname { my $self = shift; return $self->{dirname}; } =item location Return the location value associated with this bus. =cut sub location { my $self = shift; return $self->{location}; } =item devices In array context, it returns a list of Device::USB::Device objects representing all of the devices on this bus. In scalar context, it returns a reference to that array. =cut sub devices { my $self = shift; return wantarray ? @{$self->{devices}} : $self->{devices}; } =item find_device_if Find a particular USB device based on the supplied predicate coderef. If more than one device would satisfy the predicate, the first one found is returned. =over 4 =item pred the predicate used to select a device =back returns a device reference or undef if none was found. =cut sub find_device_if { my $self = shift; my $pred = shift; croak( "Missing predicate for choosing a device.\n" ) unless defined $pred; croak( "Predicate must be a code reference.\n" ) unless 'CODE' eq ref $pred; local $_ = undef; foreach($self->devices()) { return $_ if $pred->(); } return; } =item list_devices_if This method provides a flexible interface for finding devices. It takes a single coderef parameter that is used to test each discovered device. If the coderef returns a true value, the device is returned in the list of matching devices, otherwise it is not. =over 4 =item pred coderef to test devices. =back For example, my @devices = $bus->list_devices_if( sub { Device::USB::CLASS_HUB == $_->bDeviceClass() } ); Returns all USB hubs found on this bus. The device to test is available to the coderef in the C<$_> variable for simplicity. =cut sub list_devices_if { my $self = shift; my $pred = shift; croak( "Missing predicate for choosing devices.\n" ) unless defined $pred; croak( "Predicate must be a code reference.\n" ) unless 'CODE' eq ref $pred; local $_ = undef; my @devices = grep { $pred->() } $self->devices(); return wantarray ? @devices : \@devices; } =back =head1 DIAGNOSTICS This is an explanation of the diagnostic and error messages this module can generate. =head1 DEPENDENCIES This module depends on the Carp and Device::USB, as well as the strict and warnings pragmas. Obviously, libusb must be available since that is the entire reason for the module's existence. =head1 AUTHOR G.
