4 | 'libusbmuxd' makes it really simple to talk to a running 'usbmuxd' and | ||
5 | hides all the details for you. There are two function calls: | ||
6 | |||
7 | usbmuxd_scan() | ||
8 | -------------- | ||
9 | |||
10 | This returns a list of all available iPhone-like devices that are | ||
11 | available for talking to. The returned array contains the USB | ||
12 | product_id, hex formatted serial_number of any iPhones/iTouches and a | ||
13 | non-descript 'handle' for all those devices that are within range (as | ||
14 | of March 2009, that means a device directly plugged into the | ||
15 | computer's USB port). | ||
16 | |||
17 | Once you have found the device you want to communicate with, take its | ||
18 | 'handle' and pass this to usbmuxd_connect(). | ||
19 | |||
20 | usbmuxd_connect() | ||
21 | ----------------- | ||
22 | |||
23 | This takes a handle, a destination port number and tries to setup | ||
24 | a proxy a connection. It returns a file-descriptor which you should | ||
25 | be able to read(), write() and select() on like any other active network | ||
26 | socket connection. | ||
27 | |||

29 | Technical details | ||
30 | ================= | ||
31 | |||
32 | When usbmuxd is running (normally started, or stopped as a result of | ||
33 | 'udev' auto-insertion messages), it provides a socket interface in | ||
34 | '/var/run/usbmuxd' that is designed to be compatible with the socket | ||
35 | interface that is provided on MacOSX. | ||
36 | |||
37 | The structures for communicating over this device are documented | ||
38 | in the 'usbmuxd-proto.h', but you shouldn't need to view them | ||
39 | directly if you are using the libusbmuxd.so library for easy access. | ||
40 | |||

42 | Example | ||
43 | ======= | ||
44 | |||
45 | #include <usbmuxd.h> | ||
46 | |||
47 | ... | ||
48 | |||
49 | gcc -o leetphone leetphone.c -lusbmuxd | ||
