HIDAPIDeviceMBS.Enumerate(VendorID as Integer = 0, ProduceID as Integer = 0) as HIDAPIDeviceInfoMBS

This function returns a linked list of all the HID devices attached to the system which match VendorID and ProduceID. If VendorID is set to 0 then any vendor matches. If ProduceID is set to 0 then any product matches. If VendorID and ProduceID are both set to 0, then all HID devices will be returned.

HIDAPIDeviceMBS.Init as Integer

This function initializes the HIDAPI library. Calling it is not strictly necessary, as it will be called automatically by Enumerate() and any of the Open*() functions if it is needed. This function should be called at the beginning of execution however, if there is a chance of HIDAPI handles being opened by different threads simultaneously.
This function returns 0 on success and -1 on error.

HIDAPIDeviceMBS.Open(VendorID as Integer, ProduceID as Integer, SerialNumber as String = "") as HIDAPIDeviceMBS

If SerialNumber is "", the first device with the specified VID and PID is opened.
VendorID: The Vendor ID (VID) of the device to open.
ProduceID: The Product ID (PID) of the device to open.
SerialNumber: The Serial Number of the device to open (Optionally "").

This function returns a pointer to a HIDAPIDeviceMBS object on success or nil on failure.

HIDAPIDeviceMBS.OpenPath(path as string) as HIDAPIDeviceMBS

The path name be determined by calling Enumerate(), or a platform-specific path name can be used (eg: /dev/hidraw0 on Linux).
Path: The path name of the device to open
This function returns a pointer to a HIDAPIDeviceMBS object on success or nil on failure.

For macOS path must be one of:

• in format 'DevSrvsID:<RegistryEntryID>' (as returned by Enumerate().
• a valid path to an IOHIDDevice in the IOService plane (as returned by Path property in IORegistryMBS class, e.g.: "IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/EHC1@1D,7/AppleUSBEHCI/PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller@fd120000/IOUSBInterface@0/IOUSBHIDDriver");

HIDAPIDeviceMBS.Shutdown as Integer

This function frees all of the static data associated with HIDAPI. It should be called at the end of execution to avoid memory leaks.
This function returns 0 on success and -1 on error.

HIDAPIDeviceMBS.VersionString as String
