The gousb package is an attempt at wrapping the `libusb` library into a Go-like binding in a fully self-contained, go-gettable package. Supported platforms include Linux, macOS and Windows as well as the mobile platforms Android and iOS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package is a fork of [`github.com/kylelemons/gousb`](https://github.com/kylelemons/gousb), which at the moment seems to be unmaintained. The current fork is different from the upstream package as it contains code to embed `libusb` directly into the Go package (thus becoming fully self-cotnained and go-gettable), as well as it features a few contributions and bugfixes that never really got addressed in the upstream package, but which address important issues nonetheless.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Note, if @kylelemons decides to pick development of the upstream project up again, consider all commits made by me to this repo as ready contributions. I cannot vouch for other commits as the upstream repo needs a signed CLA for Google.*

Installation
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example: lsusb
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
The gousb project provides a simple but useful example: lsusb. This binary will list the USB devices connected to your system and various interesting tidbits about them, their configurations, endpoints, etc. To install it, run the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go get -v github.com/karalabe/gousb/lsusb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gousb
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
If you installed the lsusb example, both libraries below are already installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installing the primary gousb package is really easy:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go get -v github.com/karalabe/gousb/usb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is also a `usbid` package that will not be installed by default by this command, but which provides useful information including the human-readable vendor and product codes for detected hardware. It's not installed by default and not linked into the `usb` package by default because it adds ~400kb to the resulting binary. If you want both, they can be installed thus:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go get -v github.com/karalabe/gousb/usb{,id}
|
||
|
|
