• Homepage: https://libusb.info/hidapi/
• Changelog: https://github.com/libusb/hidapi/releases
• Repository: https://github.com/libusb/hidapi
• Package: master/make/libs/hidapi/

• Steward: -

• Depends on: cmake-host, libusb1

• Provides: libhidapi-libusb.so.0 (always) and, optionally,
  libhidapi-hidraw.so.0 (FREETZ_LIB_hidapi_hidraw)
• Externalization: supported

hidapi is a multi-platform library that enables applications to interface with
Bluetooth and USB HID-class devices.

In Freetz-EVO:

• The libusb backend (libhidapi-libusb) is always built. It talks to
  the device via the kernel's usbfs interface directly, so it does not
  require the kernel HID/INPUT subsystem. This is the backend used by
  hidws and ja11-config-tui, and it is the only one that works on
  GRX5 routers (e.g. 7590AX), where the AVM kernel lacks CONFIG_INPUT and
  hid.ko cannot load.
• The hidraw backend (libhidapi-hidraw) is optional and controlled by
  FREETZ_LIB_hidapi_hidraw. It requires the kernel HID modules
  (hid.ko, hid-generic.ko, usbhid.ko) and is not compatible with
  GRX5 devices.

The package includes a minimal stub libudev implementation to satisfy hidapi's
build-time dependency on udev without pulling in the full systemd/libudev stack.

Runtime interface⚓︎

• shared library libhidapi-libusb.so.0.15.0 plus SONAME symlinks
  (and libhidapi-hidraw.so.0.15.0 when the hidraw backend is enabled)
• ABI-compatible runtime for applications communicating with HID-class devices
