historique

Historique du projet et usages

HIDAPI is a small C library for talking to USB and Bluetooth HID-class devices across Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS. Its package-manager identity is both a development library and a pair of small test binaries used to verify HID access.

The project is valued because it hides the platform split between Windows `hid.dll`, macOS IOHidManager, Linux hidraw, and libusb-backed Unix builds behind one C API.

Historique du projet

HIDAPI was originally developed by Alan Ott of Signal 11 Software; the original license file carries a 2009 copyright notice. The tag history shows public 0.x releases beginning in 2010, with early work around test programs and platform makefiles.

The README records a major stewardship change on June 4, 2019, when the project moved to `libusb/hidapi` to merge important bug fixes and continue development. Release tags after that move include 0.9.0 in June 2019 and later work on CMake, Meson wrapping, API additions, and backend fixes.

The library kept its simple integration model across the move: applications can link a shared library or embed one platform-specific source file plus the public header. That made HIDAPI practical for hardware tools that need a low-friction C dependency.

Historique d'adoption

HIDAPI is widely packaged because it solves a cross-platform hardware problem at the C ABI level. The input package map lists packages for Alpine, Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, and openSUSE-style systems.

The libusb-hosted repository also matters socially: libusb is a familiar home for USB users, and the README says the Linux/libusb backend uses libusb-1.0 while Linux/hidraw supports both USB and Bluetooth HID devices.

Modes d'utilisation

Typical application usage is to initialize the library, open a device by vendor ID and product ID, exchange input/output/feature reports, and close/finalize the handle. The README includes a compact C example and points developers to `hidtest/test.c` as a starting point.

On Linux, users choose between `libhidapi-hidraw` and `libhidapi-libusb` at link time, with udev rules needed for unprivileged device access. On macOS and Windows, HIDAPI uses the native HID frameworks exposed by the operating system.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

HIDAPI is a classic package-manager library: small, C ABI-friendly, cross-platform, and pulled into many higher-level device tools. It earns its slot in package sets because every downstream would rather not reinvent HID enumeration and report I/O per OS.

Its licensing is also package-relevant. The README and license files describe GPL-3.0, BSD-style, and original HIDAPI license options, letting open-source and closed-source consumers pick an appropriate licensing path.

Chronologie

  • 2009: Original HIDAPI license text credits Alan Ott and Signal 11 Software.
  • 2010: hidapi-0.1.0 tag starts the public release line.
  • 2019: Project moves to libusb/hidapi for continued maintenance.
  • 2019: hidapi-0.9.0 is released after the libusb stewardship move.
  • 2023: hidapi-0.13.0 adds device-info API work and Meson wrapper support.
  • 2025: hidapi-0.15.0 adds more report/error API surface.

Related projects

  • libusb is both a related project and one of HIDAPI's Unix backends.
