hid-io-client

HID-IO Client Side application interface

The purpose of this crate is to provide a common set of functions that can be used to connect directly to hid-io-core. Please see hid-io-client-ffi if you are looking for an FFI-compatible library interface.

Connecting to hid-io-core

extern crate tokio;
