USB Hotplug

[sreeram]

Hi All

I am working on Linux Qt application for handling usb devices.I am calling Libusb API (libusb_get_device_list) for getting usb enumerated device list .For doing every operation on usb devices I am calling Libusb API to get new enumerated usb device list(connected while running application).

Is there any other way to call it (libusb_get_device_list) while usb connecting and removing instead of calling before every operation.

Thanks

What about to use dbus usb events to detect plug/unplug of usb devices?
