# UsbDk
|
|
|
|
UsbDk (USB Development Kit) is a open-source library for Windows meant
|
|
to provide user mode applications with direct and exclusive access to
|
|
USB devices by detaching those from Windows PNP manager and device drivers
|
|
and providing user mode with API for USB-specific operations on the device.
|
|
|
|
The library is intended to be as generic as possible, support all types of
|
|
USB devices, bulk and isochronous transfers, composite devices etc.
|
|
|
|
Library supports all Windows OS versions starting from Windows XP/2003.

|
|
[3033929](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/3033929)
