usbredir is a protocol for redirection USB traffic from a single USB device, to a different (virtual) machine then the one to which the USB device is attached. See usb-redirection-protocol.md for the description / definition of this protocol.
This package contains a number of libraries to help implementing support for usbredir and a few simple usbredir applications:
A library containing the parser for the usbredir protocol
A library implementing the usb-host side of a usbredir connection, which is the side to which the actual USB device is attached.
All that an application wishing to implement an usb-host needs to do is:
- Provide a libusb device handle for the device
- Provide write and read callbacks for the actual transport of usbredir data
- Monitor for usbredir and libusb read/write events and call their handlers
A simple tcp server usb-host, using usbredirhost
A small testclient for the usbredir protocol over tcp, using usbredirparser
