Maybe I have an old version, but the hidio-0.1 I have here doesn't send
anything to the outlet for closed devices (I use Linux.) "devices" prints to console only,
"info" prints this: 

open 0
device -1
total 0
poll 5
vendorID 0x0001
productID 0x0000
product Unknown

regardless of what devices there are. If devices are open, it prints the info correctly. 

How do I open by PID? That would actually be what I want to do. Do I have to
test-open all possible devices once?

Ciao
