Description : Library to simplify USB device monitoring.
USBMonitor is a versatile cross-platform library that simplifies USB
device monitoring for Windows, Linux and MacOS systems. It enables
developers to effortlessly track device connections, disconnections,
and access to all connected device attributes.
.
With USBMonitor, developers can stay up-to-date with any changes in
the connected USB devices, allowing them to trigger specific actions
whenever a USB device is connected or disconnected. By ensuring
consistent functionality across various operating systems, USBMonitor
removes the need to address platform-specific quirks,
inconsistencies, or incompatibilities, resulting in a smooth and
efficient USB device management experience. The uniformity in
functionality significantly enhances code compatibility, minimizing
the risk of code issues or unexpected breaks when moving between
platforms.
.
At its core, USBMonitor utilizes pyudev (for Linux environments), WMI
(for Windows environments), and the I/O Registry (for MacOs
environments). Handling all the low-level intricacies and translating
OS-specific information to ensure consistency across all systems.
