It is user-mode: No special privilege or elevation is required for the application to communicate with a device.
It is version-agnostic: All versions of the USB protocol, from 1.0 to 3.1 (latest), are supported.
What platforms are supported?
Linux, OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Android, OpenBSD/NetBSD, Haiku.
