According to file https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hid/hiddev.txt, hiddev devices are always named /dev/usb/hiddevN (where n = 0..15). However, searching the web I see statements that the hiddev device files might be located in any of several distribution dependent directories, and code that looks in multiple directories. Which is correct? I suspect that for recent kernels/distributions the device file location is fixed, but that variation existed in the past. If so, can I assume that the variability is ancient history that can safely be ignored? I ask because I'm currently cleaning up the API and command line syntax for ddcutil (http://www.ddcutil.com), and it would be simpler, and for the command line entail less typing, to pass an integer device number than a device name string. Thank you.
