.Ft const struct libusb_pollfd **
.Fn libusb_get_pollfds "libusb_context *ctx"
Retrive a list of file descriptors that should be polled by your main loop as
libusb event sources.
Returns a NULL-terminated list on success or NULL on failure.

.Fn libusb_hotplug_register_callback "libusb_context *ctx" "libusb_hotplug_event events" "libusb_hotplug_flag flags" "int vendor_id" "int product_id" "int dev_class" "libusb_hotplug_callback_fn cb_fn" "void *user_data" "libusb_hotplug_callback_handle *handle"
This function registers a hotplug filter.
The
.Fa events
argument select which events makes the hotplug filter trigger.
Available event values are LIBUSB_HOTPLUG_EVENT_DEVICE_ARRIVED and LIBUSB_HOTPLUG_EVENT_DEVICE_LEFT.
One or more events must be specified.
The
.Fa vendor_id ,
.Fa product_id
and
.Fa dev_class
arguments can be set to LIBUSB_HOTPLUG_MATCH_ANY to match any value in the USB device descriptor.
Else the specified value is used for matching.
If the
.Fa flags
argument is set to LIBUSB_HOTPLUG_ENUMERATE, all currently attached and matching USB devices will be passed to the hotplug filter, given by the
.Fa cb_fn
argument.
Else the
.Fa flags
argument should be set to LIBUSB_HOTPLUG_NO_FLAGS.
This function returns 0 upon success or a LIBUSB_ERROR code on failure.
.Pp
.Ft int
.Fn libusb_hotplug_callback_fn "libusb_context *ctx" "libusb_device *device" "libusb_hotplug_event event" "void *user_data"
The hotplug filter function.
If this function returns non-zero, the filter is removed.
Else the filter is kept and can receive more events.
The
.Fa user_data
argument is the same as given when the filter was registered.
The
.Fa event
argument can be either of LIBUSB_HOTPLUG_EVENT_DEVICE_ARRIVED or LIBUSB_HOTPLUG_EVENT_DEVICE_LEFT.
.Pp
.Ft void
.Fn libusb_hotplug_deregister_callback "libusb_context *ctx" "libusb_hotplug_callback_handle handle"
This function unregisters a hotplug filter.
