Hi all , I'm trying to read from a USB Barcode-Reader (on Solaris 8) ,
I've written the following code ...
But the program always exits on : (rval = ioctl(fd, I_PUSH,"usbkbm"))

Please if anyone has any ideas on what causes it to fail ?
Or how should I try to access the Barcode Device ?

Your help is very much appreciated !
Thanks

main( int argc, char *argv[]){
 int fd,rval;
 char c;
 Firm_event fe;

 fd = open("/dev/usb/hid3",O_RDWR);
 if (fd < 0 ) {
  exit (1);
 }
 if ((rval = ioctl(fd, I_PUSH,"usbkbm")) < 0 ) {
 exit (1); //  The program exits here all the time **********
 }
 while (read(fd, &fe, sizeof(fe))) {
  printf("n");
  printf("%d", fe.id);
  printf("%d", fe.value);
 }
}

	Why not using  perror()  with the value stored in  errno  to get
an idea of what's wrong with your  ioctl()  call ?
