It would probably be easier to just watch the network connections, as the usb data packets don't always corrispond to the network data you are looking for (control and other kinds of information go across the usb connection, in a device-specific format, unique to every usb network device, which will be quite hard to distinguish.) > This i'm doing by polling /proc/bus/usb/devices file as mentioned in the > usbmon.txt documentation. > Second thing is to inform about the data transfer viz the leangth > ,flow(in/out) of data. > From documentation i understood that /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon , we can > capture the data transfer. > But i'm unable to undserstand the documentation for parsing data. > I need only two things data length and flow. data length is in the usbmon packets directly. See the binary mode if you want to easily read it from a program, it is in the "unsigned int length" field. Open up the /dev/usbmon0 character device, mmap it and read away, should be quite simple. What do you mean by "flow"? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
