Welcome to the Libusb++ (Libusbpp) Wiki

Libusb++ is a wrapper for libusb/libusbx designed to save time spent developing native c++ applications. It completely hides the libusb(x) implementation inside of an object-oriented framework. It's based around a USB "Device" class that can be instanced easily using the default factories. From there, you can iterate through Configurations, Interfaces, and Endpoints, and create specialized Transfer objects to communicate with your device in a straight-forward manner.

In the example LibusbTest.cpp is a demonstration all of the available transfer types, with only a few lines of code!

The library does utilize C++11 syntax and standard library features, including threading for effortless asynchronous background transfers.

However, the real power is shown when you inherit the base device class. By doing this, you can create intuitive, easy-to-use libraries for your devices in record time.

If you give it a try, I'd love some feedback on what you think about how I've structured things, and where it can stand some improvement. (It's untested in linux, though, I expect no issues other than needing a makefile.) It's not yet complete (isochronous transfers currently aren't working), so please report any problems that you run into.
