The libgusb package contains the GObject wrappers for libusb-1.0 that makes it easy to do asynchronous control, bulk and interrupt transfers with proper cancellation and integration into a mainloop.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libgusb
Install libgusb by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release -Ddocs=false .. && ninja
To test the results, issue: ninja test.
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
--buildtype=release:
Specify a buildtype suitable for stable releases of the package, as
the default may produce unoptimized binaries.
-Ddocs=false: building
documentation needs Gi-DocGen-2023.1. Remove this switch if you
have installed gi-docgen, and you
wish to build the API documentation. If this option is used, use
the following command to fix the directory name of the API
documentation after this package is installed:
mv -v /usr/share/doc/libgusb{,-0.4.5}
