Something is wrong with this API description. Does it return a Request, as indicated here, or does it return a session, as indicated in the session_handle out argument?


Creates an USB monitoring session.

Maybe be more explicit that the session is only required to receive device events and that enumerate, acquire and release do not require a session?


Supported keys in the @options vardict include:

* ``session_handle_token`` (``s``)

A string that will be used as the last element of the session handle. Must be a valid
object path element. See the #org.freedesktop.portal.Session documentation for
more information about the session handle.

Should document that no options are currently supported. There are a few more of those cases in here.


Enumerates all connected USB devices that this application has permission
to see.

The following results are returned in the @device vardict:

* ``id`` (``s``)

The portal-specific unique identifier of the device.

* ``parent`` (``s``)

Device ID of the parent device.

* ``readable`` (``b``)

Whether the device can be opened for reading with
org.freedesktop.portal.Usb.AcquireDevices(). If not present, then
it should be assumed to be false.

* ``writable`` (``b``)

Whether the device can be opened for writing with
org.freedesktop.portal.Usb.AcquireDevices(). If not present, then
it should be assumed to be false.

* ``device-file`` (``s``)

A string path to the device node inside the /dev filesystem.

* ``properties`` (``a{sv}``)

A list of udev properties that this device has. These properties

I'm really worried about this. It essentially makes udev a stable API even though it really is not.

Should mention the #org.freedesktop.portal.Request::Response signal

I think the response signal should carry an id that should be passed to FinishAcquireDevices. That way there is no problem with calling AcquireDevices multiple times before calling FinishAcquireDevices.


Each element of the @devices_fds array contains the device ID, and the
following keys:

* ``success`` (``b``)

Whether the device access was successful or not.

* ``fd`` (``h``)

The file descriptor representing the device. Only present if this
was a successful device access.

* ``error`` (``s``)

Error message describing why accessing the device was not
successful. Only present if this was an failed device access.

There are no supported keys in the @options vardict.

What does it mean to release a device? Is the fd still usable?

Should probably say something about the relation to the session and connection. I assume closing the session or connection implicitly also releases all devices?

Eh, there is no session involved with acquiring and releasing devices, only a connection. The question still remains: what happens when the connection is closed. Same as release? Nothing?

@events: A list of events. See org.freedesktop.portal.Usb.EnumerateDevices() for a list of all the properties that may be present in the vardict.

The DeviceEvents signal is emitted when one or more USB devices have
been added, changed, or removed. This signal is only emitted for active
sessions created with org.freedesktop.portal.Usb.CreateSession().

Each element of the @events array is composed of the following fields:

Type of event that occurred. One of "add", "change", or "remove".

What happens when one has acquired a device and it got removed? Is the fd still usable? Only sometimes?

We don't have a mechanism for revoking the fd so a real device unplug will result in a remove with the fd becoming unusable but when the user wants to revoke a device, we can't do anything with the existing fd on the client and so it won't be.


* ``id`` (``s``)

Device ID that the event occurred on.

* ``device`` (``s``)

Device properties attached to the ID. See
org.freedesktop.portal.Usb.EnumerateDevices() for a list of all
the properties that may be present in the vardict.
