good idea to add deeper validation. If support for validation will be added
anyway, then UTF-8 would be nice. Who is using UTF-16 anyway e

What about adding a `_unicode` version the
When I read the documentation, I thought that the only difference between the
libusb_get_string_descriptor and _ascii function was that the former returned
UTF-16. I was surprised when I discovered that it was actually such a thin
wrapper.
The documentation says:

It would be nicier if this libusb_get_string_descriptor function can be moved
into the library instead of keeping it in the library. That would make newer
library versions backwards incompatible, but it allows for updating the
implementation without having to recompile programs. Thoughts?

This Ralink device returns bogus values for some string descriptors
(iSerial, iInterface). The bDescriptorType and everything following that
changes every time, but at least the first byte stays consistently 0.
The USB 2.0 spec (9.6.7 String) does not define the behavior for

libusbx probably won't fix this, I just reported it such that this gotcha is at
least documented.
The USB devices were never removed after booting up and the USB bus numbers
would always stay the same (unlike the device numbers). That assumption broke

After upgrading libusbx from 1.0.15 to 1.0.16 I noticed that one of my scripts
broke because the output of lsusb (from usbutils 007) got changed.
I bisected it to commit 6853291 which added hotplug support to the Linux
backend. For now I am using `sort` to get some of devices sorted by bus numbe
