11 months ago Here is some example output from running serial-list-info.exe.
I found it useful to compare/test against "usbview.exe" and py -m serial.tools.list_ports --verbose (pyserial)
Port name: COM5

Note, the thorny one is USB\VID_2E8A&PID_0005&MI_00\6&C508D77&0&0000. This requires iterating over parent nodes to extract the serial number.

This is an attempt to add serial port information (issue #8) . This is done iteratively via
InformationIteratorwhich will return aPortInformationstruct for each serial port.This PR only adds Windows support. It is (I thought) surprisingly convoluted to get things like the serial number.
I'm thinking perhaps something like a VCP is not handled well but I do not have a device to test. I have tested with devices using Windows CDC driver and FTDI.

Note, I'm very fresh to Zig and I'm sure a lot of this code could be improved. So please, feel free to make edits or suggestions - it would be a good learning experience for me.
