//! This crate provides a rust abstraction over the features of the C library

//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! This crate is [on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/hidapi) and can be
//! used by adding `hidapi` to the dependencies in your project's `Cargo.toml`.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! extern crate hidapi_rusb;
//!
//! use hidapi_rusb::HidApi;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     println!("Printing all available hid devices:");
//!
//!     match HidApi::new() {
//!         Ok(api) => {
//!             for device in api.device_list() {
//!                 println!("{:04x}:{:04x}", device.vendor_id(), device.product_id());
//!             }
