There are so many different flags for those id structures, parsing and understanding them must be quite difficult. > I'm thinking of making a proper patch that will add a debugfs entry > like usb/drivers (and usb/hid_drivers?), that can be read to get > USB/HID device ids for all loaded drivers. Would that be acceptable? > Or should I use some other interface to do that? I can't think of a better way to get the information from a running kernel. There is another possibility, though. If the drivers are built as modules, the information is already available to userspace tools via depmod. You could get it from the modules.dep.bin file. This has the advantage that it will work even for drivers that aren't currently loaded. Alan Stern
